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 deliberately janky, humorous exploration game that feels like a goofy spring outing with a cat and a skateboard.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a heartfelt, creative indie gem with a bittersweet ending that closed a chapter of their youth, while others say its novelty fades early due to weak gameplay, dull combat, and jarring tonal shifts.
