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.

What players say

Players describe it as hectic, leaving little time to be scared. The core loop of closing gaps that open on their own gets more complex with exception patterns and expanding areas. Some praise the story and local folklore feel, while a few find the ending disappointing or the gameplay closer to a defense game.
