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 hazy, surreal Sunday morning walk through a quirky, music-filled neighborhood where you unravel a strange story through deliveries and conversations.

What players say

Players praise the surreal world and music but are split on the narrative: some find the weird characters engaging, others say the story is hard to follow behind long dialogues. The game is short, around 2–3 hours, and works as a walking sim with simple pizza-making minigames.
