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

Players call this a 5-minute prologue or interactive trailer rather than a full game. There are no real puzzles, just light interaction and narrated story. Reviewers praise the impressive smoke effects while noting the experience ends abruptly after choosing an item. Some express hope for a complete game.
