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 somber, methodical trek through a flooded world where each choice feels weighty and discovery is slow but rewarding.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric pixel art and music, but split on whether the cryptic storytelling is engaging or frustrating. Combat is quick and aggressive, though some find controls janky or bosses erratic. A few report performance problems with Unity's 2D frame handling.
