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 dreamlike, lonely stroll through beautiful but empty liminal spaces where you solve puzzles and soak in atmosphere, knowing there's no escape.

What players say

Players agree this is a very short backrooms walking simulator with strong atmosphere and graphics, but the levels feel more like mazes than liminal spaces. Some reviewers note the developer is stepping away due to cancer, which shapes the game's unfinished state. There are mixed feelings on controls and bugs like getting stuck after falling.
