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 playful, low-stakes thought experiment that challenges your ethics with absurd and serious scenarios alike.

What players say

Players are sharply split. Many say the game preaches a left-leaning vegan morality and criticizes your choices, which some find off-putting and others ignore. Others enjoy it as a hilarious, absurd philosophical debate generator, especially with friends, and praise the sharp writing and varied dilemmas. Disagreement is strong about whether the moralizing ruins the fun or is part of the joke.
