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 fast-paced, chaotic adventure where your choices lead to absurd dark comedy and frantic bullet-filled action.

What players say

Players describe it as an interactive book with a creative, well-written story and challenging action sequences, especially one very hard boss battle. Some note a David Lynch influence and the Binding of Isaac comparison for difficulty.
