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 gently paced, quirky space adventure where you poke around a hand-drawn ship, solving small puzzles at your own leisure while uncovering odd details left by previous crew.

What players say

Players enjoy the time loop framing of retelling a story to a grandchild, with short cycles that encourage replay. The puzzles and memory hunting are the core, though some find the repeated loops frustrating and a few encounter bugs with performance or getting stuck.
