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 dreamlike, timed exploration where you quietly gather weapons and items while managing a gentle but persistent threat.

What players say

Players praise the unique 10-minute prep phase before combat, but warn controls feel janky. The game has no dialogue or story text, relying on atmosphere. Players split on the deep mode, which some call lazy number inflation.
