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 slow, calm drift through surreal, colorful 3D art spaces with no goals, just observation and atmospheric immersion

What players say

Players describe this as an abstract art exhibit you walk through, not a game. Many appreciate the first world's visuals but find later areas smaller and less interesting. A broken mouse cursor that minimizes the game frustrates players, while an inventory system with nothing collectible suggests unfinished development.
