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 gentle, absurdly paced game of growing your puppet while the world is quietly ending, with a bittersweet and playful feel.

What players say

Players compare this to Katamari, some saying it feels more like an art student project than the real thing. It is very short, completable in 3–4 hours, and running it on modern monitors can be painful.
