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 quiet, searching expedition into cosmic unknowns, more about piecing together an elusive picture than about action.

What players say

A roughly 2 to 4 hour first-person walking sim with strong visuals and sound, often praised as the dev's best yet. Players consistently complain that objectives get no direction or context, forcing hours of wandering and clicking, and some hit crashes on launch or controller freezes. The pursuing monster is seen as unfair, able to spot you almost anywhere even on easy.
