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 short, atmospheric survival journey through a hand-drawn sci-fi world, blending quiet melancholy with tense moments of outrunning alien threats.

What players say

Players call this a very short platformer with sluggish character movement and janky controls. It is often played just for a single achievement. The voice acting is praised, but the game feels unfinished and ends abruptly.
