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 serene yet demanding trek through alien dreamscapes, where you slowly scale colossal beings while soaking in the quiet wonder of strange, colorful worlds.

What players say

Players are sharply split. Many find the game aimless and frustrating, with a useless guidance system, dead ends, and a baffling save system that can cause softlocks. Others praise its dreamlike atmosphere and sense of scale, comparing it to Shadow of the Colossus, though even fans note the music is underwhelming and the experience is polarizing.
