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

An introspective, time-pressured exploration where each run is a brief, self-contained journey of uncovering layered secrets.

What players say

Players consistently call the game a nostalgic and melancholic walk through childhood, especially for those who grew up in Israel or Eastern Europe. The main mechanic forces repeating a short 20-minute loop Groundhog Day style, with many secrets and multiple endings to unlock, though some find the puzzles too spoon-fed and the political setting off-putting.
