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 tranquil, meditative walk through meticulously recreated ancient ruins, offering quiet wonder and a sense of historical discovery.

What players say

Players describe a very short, static tour of photogrammetry-scanned ruins in Syria, Iraq, and Libya. You cannot move, only look around as scenes auto-advance, which leaves some wanting more interaction. The visuals are widely praised, but performance varies.
