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 float through a gently absurd galaxy, poking at silly planets with no pressure to win, just to look and smile.

What players say
Players describe it as a surreal, goal-free exploration toy from the late 80s, best enjoyed with children watching. The monochrome graphics and locked small window frustrate some, while others find the bizarre worlds and sound design charming and full of discovery.
