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 brief, slow walk through a graveyard where you listen to a song, more like exploring a painting than playing a game.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short art project, not a game. You walk an old woman to a bench and she may die. One review notes it directly inspired a scene in Uncharted 2.
