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, slow-burn first-person puzzle adventure that blends B-movie horror satire with tense exploration of a retro-futuristic desert nightmare.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short, buggy adventure game full of cold war B-movie charm. Some praise its humorous tone and multiple endings, while others cite game-breaking glitches and a strong disconnect between its promising premise and rough execution.
