The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slow, meditative wander through a dark, abandoned world where every step you take paints the landscape with light and gradually reveals forgotten stories.

What players say

Players compare it to Journey and Abzu, praising the music and atmosphere, but many report clunky controls, a 30 fps cap, motion sickness, and a game-breaking bug in the green level that the developer never fixed.
