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 surreal and lonely journey through a dreamlike, nightmarish world with Dali-esque creatures and mind-bending landscapes.

What players say

Players are split on this 1989 relic. Those with nostalgia call it a bizarre visual treat with a great concept. Others warn of sluggish controls, imprecise hit detection, and obtuse puzzle solutions that make it a frustrating experience.
