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 casual, thought-driven experience where your choices carry the weight of the world in a relaxed setting.

What players say

A visual novel where you interview aliens in pairs, and the pairing is the puzzle, compared by many players to Papers, Please. The true route is unintuitive to unlock and has no skip for already-seen dialogue, so replaying endings drags. Steam Deck display is broken, and one player hit a fatal crash.
