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

You wander through a massive hand-drawn art gallery at a gentle pace, absorbing surreal and psychedelic imagery with no threat or rush.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing walking simulator with a huge amount of art to explore, but the sheer volume can drown out the best pieces and the five music tracks get repetitive. Some wish for more interactivity like collecting paintings or interacting with the cat.
