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 quiet, observational tech demo where you watch a realistic scene and tweak graphics settings to test performance.

What players say

Players agree this is a graphics demo rather than a game, with no interaction or goal beyond walking around a single room. Some find it technically impressive, but many call it a portfolio piece or performance tester.
