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

Playing feels like wandering through a strange, colorful medical sideshow where you poke at odd ailments with a cheerful, hand-drawn whimsy.

What players say

Players compare it to a clicker version of Papers Please, with repetitive quick-time medical procedures. The gross body horror and dark humor charm some, but others find it tedious and overpriced for its short length. Fans praise the quirky art and characters, while critics say the narrative is too thin to sustain the gameplay.
