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 slow-burn, narrative-driven walking simulator that blends surreal retro horror with dark humor and a creeping sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the eerie, lonely atmosphere and body-horror visuals, but a September 2024 update introduced persistent softlocks that prevent many from finishing the game. It is a short walking simulator with a racing-themed side activity, not an actual racer.
