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 collection of short, weird mini-games that jump between silly premises and awkward controls.

What players say

Players describe The Blue Box as a collection of experimental game jam titles that are bizarre, simple, and often broken. Some games never launch, controls are unresponsive, and there is no guidance. Others highlight three games with Twitch IRC support, making it a decent pick for streamers. A few players cannot even figure out how to start a game.
