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 quiet, meditative ritual where you craft daily offerings for a stone idol in serene, minimalist environments.

What players say

Players describe it as more of a meditative daily ritual than a game, where you spend a few minutes arranging offerings for a new idol each day. Some note the music loops can get repetitive during longer sessions.
