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, meditative loop of daily tasks that feels like a quiet observation of routine rather than active play.

What players say

Players are split: some find it amusing or enjoy its minimalism, but most call it a slideshow with no interactivity, just nine scenes you space through. The music is noticed, both positively and as offensively loud.
