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 wander a quiet, surreal forest path, searching for an exit in a short, contemplative walking experience.

What players say

Players praise it as a gentle, non-scary anomaly game set in a forest, with a cute deer that bows. It is short, around one to two hours, and anomalies range from easy to subtle. Some find it too simple or repetitive, and a few want more challenge or scarier content.
