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 meditative, slow-paced first-person puzzler where you drift through abandoned, colorful ruins, uncovering a lost civilization's story through gentle puzzles and a reactive soundtrack.

What players say

Players are split on this short walking simulator with light puzzles. The music and atmosphere are praised, but most agree the puzzles are too simple and repetitive, often described as connect the dots. The cryptic lore and environments get mixed reactions, with some finding them meditative and others underwhelming. The game takes about 1-2 hours to finish.
