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 somber, emotionally heavy survival experience where resource management and chance encounters shape your path out of homelessness.

What players say

Players praise the emotional realism and satisfying progression from homelessness to stability, but many report losing save files and encountering bugs. Some find runs too repetitive once the mechanics are learned.
