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 tense, bureaucratic simulation where you wield power over fictional lives while navigating absurd corporate rules and unsettling revelations.

What players say

Players compare it to Papers, Please and say it captures the feel-good tedium of document checking but often disappoints with a repetitive loop and a story that feels irrelevant or unfinished. Some find it addictively fun, while others call its choices meaningless and say its body language lacks impact.
