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 tense and punishingly simple test of will where even the slightest involuntary twitch ends everything.

What players say

Players praise the game's absurd premise of staying completely still, with a high score system for those with nothing better to do. It is a pure test of patience featuring distracting popups and achievements, split between those who find it genius and those who call it weird.
