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 quiet, melancholic two-player experience where you walk along a desolate beach, feeling wistful and connected through distance and isolation.

What players say

Players are split on this art game. Some find it a poetic, meditative experience about communication, while others see it as pretentious and empty. The game requires a real partner to play, has French dialogue, and can be prone to crashes. Many say it is overpriced for its short length.
