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 solitary, pensive journey through a minimalist and atmospheric world, where you explore at your own pace and uncover a story about greed and consequence.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and engaging puzzles, though some find the story confusing and note a lack of subtitles. It is often described as a solid, short experience for the price of free, with minor technical issues like awkward camera transitions.
