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

You wander a desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland under a pall of ash, reading sparse text and sensing the quiet weight of a dead world shared with unknown others.

What players say

Players praise the writing, atmosphere, and puzzle design, calling the story heartfelt and the mystery compelling. Some compare it to Outer Wilds. The ascii visuals with shaders look surprisingly pretty. It is reading-heavy and meant for cooperative puzzle solving, though full loot PvP can cause painful setbacks.
