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 tense, text-driven survival gauntlet where you juggle hunger, insulin, and zombies, knowing every run is a countdown to inevitable death.

What players say

Players praise this text-based game for its creative take on living with Type 1 diabetes, using ASCII art and status windows to create a sense of urgency. They note it is still in early access with some bugs and limited creativity, but see potential.
