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 nostalgic interactive fiction game that feels like revisiting early 2000s online friendships through chat and typing.

What players say

Players say the game captures early 2000s fandom and AIM culture with painful accuracy, but the heavy roleplay text sections turn some off. It is emotionally intense, often making players cry, and runs about 10 hours with multiple endings.
