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.

What players say

A short, heartbreaking story about an abandoned dog that players call emotionally powerful but technically broken. Achievements reset and there is no save function. Players are split on the gameplay sections, with some finding the maze segments repetitive and immersion-breaking.
