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

Building a gentle, looping chain of automated actions feels like conducting a peaceful, living machine in a cozy tree sanctuary.

What players say

Players describe it as a short but satisfying puzzle-automation game with a novel cloning mechanic. The voice acting and story pleasantly surprised many, and it runs well even on older hardware. Some wish it were longer.
