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, almost meditative sorting routine gradually tinted with unease as the endless empty rooms make you feel alone in a place that never quite ends.

What players say

A relaxing sorting game set in a Backrooms-style space, with players consistently noting the eerie but cozy atmosphere and a huge variety of items to organize. Several mention a visual jitter that can be reduced by turning off post processing, and some wish for a higher inventory cap. It runs about 4 to 5 hours to finish, and the three gold medals in the minigames are a notable difficulty spike.
