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 gentle, surreal stroll through abstract vignettes, collecting fragments while ambient music and minimal interaction create a calm, meditative pace.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a poetic, thought-provoking art experience with beautiful music and visuals, while others see it as pretentious philosophical rambling with bland environments and painfully slow walking. The game lasts around 20-30 minutes and focuses on collecting cubes through abstract puzzles.
