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 quiet, unsettling descent into a forgotten online ghost town, where the stillness and abandoned scoreboard create a melancholic and introspective mystery.

What players say

Players praise the concept and accessible puzzles, but call the game very short, clocking in around one to two hours. Some appreciate the multiple endings and a playful de_dust2 easter egg.
