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, self-aware comedy where a mischievous narrator guides you through a heist that feels more like a playful theatre of the absurd than a tense caper.

What players say

Players call this a free, very short walking simulator with a funny narrator, much like The Stanley Parable. Many note that achievements are bugged and do not unlock, while a few report no issues.
