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 run a rundown gas station and store by day, tidying, stocking, and serving travelers, while an undercurrent of mystery and caution hangs over the night.

What players say

Players love the pixel art and spooky X-Files-ish mystery, but opinions split on whether the story is worth the grind. Many say later upgrades automate away the fun, leaving you waiting for the next event. The game is short, about 12 to 17 hours, and has multiple endings that players find mostly similar.
