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

The game feels like walking on eggshells in a sunlit prison, where strained silences and subtle judgment replace action, and the only escape is surviving another day with people who feel like strangers.

What players say

Players report the early access build is extremely short, with under 30 minutes of content, no sound, grammatical errors, and characters whose ages are impossible to tell. Several reviews accuse the developer of abandoning games after release and reusing the same assets across multiple titles.
