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

Reliance on a partner is everything: one player navigates purely by sound while the other guides, creating a tense and collaborative experience.

What players say

Players love the simple idea of guiding a blind friend through levels, but the game is very short and best enjoyed with someone you know. Multiplayer servers are empty, so local or LAN play is required, and players report crashes and finicky setup.
