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, abstract simulation that invites you to observe and interact at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, darkly comedic simulation about managing employees in a hellish office, with puzzles and minigames instead of jump scares. Many finish in under two hours and wish it were longer, calling the price a bit high for the length but praising the unique atmosphere and multiple endings.
