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 tense 20-minute descent into existential horror as you relive your last moments in a post-singularity world, where your choices hold no weight against the inevitability of death.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short interactive text about the final thoughts of a dying robot, more art piece than game. The writing is praised as poetic and devastating, while reviewers note that choices do not alter the ending, which one calls a metalinguistic point.
