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

Feels like a tense, introspective dive into your own psyche via a darkly atmospheric simulation.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, introspective personality test that prompts self-reflection through personal and sometimes unsettling questions. Some find the delivery cheesy and the results vague, while others praise its emotional impact and say it captures how they feel at different points in life.
