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 text-driven logic puzzle that feels like a stripped-down, cerebral dating simulation with an emphasis on choice and consequence

What players say

Very short, it can be finished in a single sitting. Players call it a student project in feel but praise the logical branching that mimics real social dynamics. The core message, that attraction depends on wealth and looks, is blunt and polarizing, some see it as honest, others as bitter and reductive.
