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 plodding, methodical simulation where you perform repetitive tasks in an oppressive industrial environment.

What players say

Players enjoy the unusual mix of busywork tasks like sorting trash and farming, set against a surprisingly effective horror atmosphere. The game takes about nine hours to beat, though some find the menial labor tedious rather than engaging.
