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 sadistic retro text-adventure that blends dark humor with punishing puzzles, making you feel both clever and frustrated as you explore its hidden story.

What players say
Players praise the dark humor and voice acting, noting it is entertaining in short bursts despite frequent deaths. However, many say the game is very short and updates stalled, leaving the early access release feeling abandoned.
