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 disorienting and puzzling navigation game where you rely on incomplete clues and unreliable help to decipher a foreign subway system.

What players say

Players ride subways and talk to ghosts in this short, free exploration game. Many praise its atmosphere and moral ending, but some find it dull or buggy. A post-game developer commentary mode is included.
