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 relentless, grim trek through a distorted nightmare where every step is a fight for survival against deadly threats and shifting landscapes.

What players say

Players describe a surreal pixel-art adventure controlled entirely by mouse, but the lack of any menu, exit button, or explanation leaves many frustrated. The game is split between those charmed by its music and trippy visuals and those who find the invisible walls, spike hitboxes, and inconsistent save points broken.
