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 disorienting first-person journey through a shifting digital world that tests your reflexes and spatial reasoning with its synthwave pulse.

What players say

Players describe a short first-person puzzle-platformer where you rotate blocks while gravity stays fixed, calling it trippy and fun for an hour but noting control reversals and dizziness. Some praise the synthwave aesthetic, others find the trial-and-error loop tedious.
