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 lighthearted, whimsical first-person adventure with slapstick sword combat and quirky, comic-style storytelling.

What players say

Players describe a short, weird first-person adventure with simple combat and blocky voxel graphics. The story is considered bland but the absurdist humor and quirky world charm some. Many note the game ends on a cliffhanger and express frustration that a promised sequel never came.
