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, meditative journey through a twisted world where you follow a guiding voice and solve environmental puzzles to uncover answers.

What players say

Players describe a short, atmospheric puzzle adventure with a mysterious story that is either intriguing or incoherent. The two chapters differ in tone, and the game ends on a cliffhanger with no clear sign of continuation. VR users report nausea and poor implementation, while flatscreen players find the puzzles simple but the visuals unpolished.
