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

Exploring a desolate, robot-inhabited world while solving puzzles and fighting enemies feels lonely and mysterious, with a focus on uncovering a lost story.

What players say

Players enjoy the art, music, and puzzles, but the game remains in early access years after release with no controller support, dark visuals that hide platforms, and performance issues. Many praise the developer's transparent live streams, while others call the project abandoned.
