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 quirky, low-stakes adventure where an old man explores a fantastical land collecting trinkets while avoiding goofy threats.

What players say

Players are deeply split on this game. Some call it an absurd, funny meme worth a few minutes for easy achievements. Many others call it a buggy, hateful platformer with bad controls, a broken gun, and offensive themes targeting LGBT+ people. There is no middle ground.
