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

You explore surreal, unnerving environments puzzle by puzzle, never sure what threat might lurk around the next corner.

What players say

Players describe it as a collection of short, disconnected levels linked by an elevator, with tasks like finding voodoo dolls and spotting anomalies. They praise its eerie moments but criticize frequent bugs, a lack of story, and the need to restart from scratch since there is no cloud saving or manual save system.
