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 slow, text-driven journey through a dystopian office where you quietly confront corporate denial with bleak scientific data.

What players say

Players describe this as a dense hour-long visual essay about a geologist confronting a CEO over unethical mining. The writing is praised, but some find the lack of saves and limited interactivity frustrating. Many note the art and sound design stand out.
