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 contemplative, eerie journey through a forsaken island where quiet exploration and lingering dread shape the experience.

What players say

Players praise the Morrowind-like freedom and weirdness, but many report technical problems. Some find quests too vague without waypoints, and co-op players say day-two patches broke their playthroughs. Reviews split on whether the jank is charming or frustrating.
