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, meditative interactive story where you slowly consume a building through surreal visuals and text, evoking a sense of loss and quiet grief.

What players say

Players call this a short, poetic experience about loss and the erasure of history, completed in about 15 minutes. They either find the writing moving and thought-provoking, or dismiss it as pretentious and boring.
