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

You load your own short videos into a simple interface and watch them play in a barebones cinema setting, with a self-aware, humorous tone from the developer's note acknowledging the game's flaws.

What players say

Players enjoy watching their own videos in a simulated theater, but many call the game barebones. Frequent requests include VR support, multiplayer, and more interactive features like food and seat numbers. The graphical style is rough and some bugs cause crashes.
