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 short, linear indie game with satirical political parody and light comedic tone.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short (under 30 minutes) Pac-Man-like game full of political parody dialogue. Satisfaction depends on taste: some enjoy the humor and casual arcade feel, while others find the gameplay boring and the satire shallow. The community notes it was originally a mobile port.
