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 knowingly absurd pixel-art adventure that mixes deadpan humor, casual exploration, and light puzzle-solving with a strangely endearing sense of melancholy.

What players say

Players praise the meta humor and fourth-wall breaks but warn it is a short, repetitive fetch-quest heavy game at 2-3 hours. Opinions split: some find the jokes hilarious, others call them overused or boring. Many note heavy backtracking and no reasons to replay.
