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 choose-your-own-adventure novel where pacing is driven by your choices and the story unfolds through text alone.

What players say

Players call it a short illustrated text adventure that is over before it gets going. Reviews praise the writing but note bugs in game logic and a rushed ending that makes the story feel incomplete.
