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 deeply personal, surreal journey where the player explores strange, stylized worlds and makes choices that lead to unexpected, darkly comedic outcomes.

What players say

Players enjoy the surreal, trippy atmosphere and multiple endings, though they note that major choices feel out of their hands. Some find it less polished than they would like, and the experience can be intense depending on the path taken.
