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

You explore a dark, dystopian sci-fi world at a slow narrative pace, piecing together stories through exploration and investigation.

What players say

Players largely agree the game is an abandoned early access project with only one short chapter available. The visuals and atmosphere are praised, but the 30 FPS cap, slow movement, and lack of any story conclusion frustrate players.
