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 surreal and unsettling walk through a 1-bit museum of abstract horrors and darkly philosophical vignettes.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, melancholic first-person art piece about exploring paintings in a museum. Some find the lack of guidance frustrating, citing easy softlocks and no way to track objectives. Opinions split on whether the surreal vignettes are meaningful or pointless.
