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, surreal first-person walk through fragmented memories with light puzzle solving, completed in one short sitting.

What players say

Players call it a very short game with a cool aesthetic and a neat twist. Many enjoy the memory-hacking puzzles and soundtrack, though some complain the screen is too dark and the puzzles don't always make sense.
