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 decaying neon-lit city as a nimble cat, solving puzzles and sneaking past dangers with a mix of playfulness and tension.

What players say

Players praise how well the game captures real cat behavior and how the dystopian city feels alive with personality. Many call it short but emotional, often tearing up at the ending.
