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 dreamy, introspective walking simulator where mundane reality blurs with surreal nightmare logic, creating an uneasy but compelling sense of mystery.

What players say

Players say the game is a short walking simulator with beautiful graphics and a dreamlike atmosphere, but movement is painfully slow and the fixed FOV causes motion sickness for some.
