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

Driving a bizarre, surreal top-down world with cryptic lore and a punishing, lonely feel.

What players say

Players describe a surreal, punishing game with a deep story that justifies its weirdness. Controls are hard and the world is cryptic, but long-time fans say developer support through 2024 is a positive. Some compare it to a Russian Death Stranding.
