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 rolling dice through a suspiciously cheerful yet unnerving small-town board game, where dark secrets lurk under a nostalgic surface.

What players say

Players describe it as a surreal board game blending Mario Party with World of Horror. There is no online multiplayer or save feature, so it is meant to be played through in one sitting with friends locally or via screen share.
