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, amusing chat with an unresponsive rock where the comedy comes from your own imagined dialogue and the absurdity of the premise.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a game at all: some see it as a free, funny interactive novel, while a few call it badly written and not worth your time. The rock's responses are mostly '...', and there are no achievements or real gameplay.
