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

You wander endlessly repeating beige corridors and vacant offices that shift just enough to keep you uneasy, never sure if you are making progress or circling the same silent space.

What players say

A short backrooms game, beatable in under two hours, whose standout is an RC car used for navigation puzzles, a mechanic players say is rare in the genre. Most praise the atmosphere and the story's slow reveal, though several find the price steep for the length and report occasional bugs like a frozen checkpoint.
