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

Guiding tiny creatures through a dreamlike, corrupted forest feels like a tense, surreal journey between cuteness and cosmic horror.

What players say

Players praise the art style and oppressive atmosphere, but warn the good ending requires collecting every hidden item in a single run with no level select. The game feels like a dark, survival-horror take on Pikmin, though some find the difficulty frustrating at times.
