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 psychedelic metroidvania where unsettling suspense is balanced with dark humor.

What players say

Players say the Metroidvania exploration is decent, but the controls feel janky and imprecise, making combat a chore. Opinions split on the story, which some find interesting while others call it a heavy-handed, rambling psychoanalysis that drags on too long.
