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 slow, oppressive survival sim where you manage basic needs and a crumbling mental state from a single bed, with retro visuals and creeping dread.

What players say

Players praise the concept and atmospheric portrayal of depression but are split on execution. Many find the real-time day length tedious, with the 3-hour game padded to 20 minutes of content. Some mention camera bugs and a trailer that spoils every surprise.
