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 fast-paced, real-time dinner conversation where you must quickly think and respond to probing questions while reading your host's body language.

What players say

Players love the creepy, unsettling atmosphere but find the timer and rat management stressful. There is no checkpoint, so failure means restarting from scratch, and the short timer makes it difficult for non-native English speakers or those who type slowly.
