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 contemplative, largely passive journey through surreal, art-driven environments that prioritise exploration and visual storytelling over challenge or action.

What players say

Players praise its beautiful art direction and unique aesthetic, but nearly all agree the game is terribly optimized and technically broken, often crashing within minutes. Many describe it as an art exhibition rather than a traditional game, with janky mechanics and a focus on visual exploration over gameplay.
