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 somber, introspective journey through a quiet apocalypse where survival is about clinging to creativity as much as to life.

About

We always thought that our annihilation as mankind would be different, something epic and straight out of an action movie… but it wasn’t. there was no zombie apocalypse, no nuclear war… just our own demons taking over us… nobody knows why all of this happened and at this point, nobody really cares either. People only care about survival and holding on to their humanity along the way. But it’s hard to live like an animal and not to feel like one. So, they are holding on to the only thing that made them different in the first place; imagination, creating something and mixing knowledge with art… literature.
