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 tranquil, introspective backpacking journey through beautiful and mysterious landscapes, balancing exploration with quiet moments of reflection.

What players say

Players describe Albatroz as a beautiful but buggy hiking sim. They praise the vistas and core exploration, but almost everyone reports janky controls, awkward platforming, and frequent technical crashes. Survival mechanics are criticized for actively discouraging free-roaming, and the vague map is often called unusable. Reviews are split on whether the story and characters carry the experience.
