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 hypnotic first-person journey that gradually intensifies from serene to frenetic, demanding quick reflexes in a psychedelic, dreamlike space.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, trippy arcade game where you fly through a tube avoiding obstacles. It is easy to pick up but gets fast and challenging, and while not deep, players find it oddly addictive for a quick play.
