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 chaotic, satirical experience that shifts wildly between genres with broken, glitchy gameplay to parody the state of modern AAA development.

What players say

Players find the game a funny and charming satire of game genres, but it is very raw and buggy in early access. Many report the lack of saving, no key rebinding, and that content ends abruptly after the horror section. The Ukrainian voice acting and humor are praised, but performance issues and overlapping audio are common complaints.
