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 slow, solitary walk through a surreal, dreamlike world where a vague internal task drives a quiet search for meaning.

What players say

Players describe it as a chaotic platformer built on absurd humor and awkward physics, with intentionally ridiculous obstacle courses that feel more about confusion and laughter than polished mechanics.
