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, rhythmic journey through a surreal world where music drives tense bullet-hell battles and every moment feels unexpected.

What players say

Players love Everhood's story, music, and psychedelic aesthetic, calling it a memorable short experience. Some find the early combat boring since it relies on survival rather than fighting back, and a few call it pretentious.
