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 calm yet unsettling exploration of a dreamlike garden where friendly animals mask hidden secrets and a growing sense of dread.

What players say

Players finish it in under an hour and call it a short, free experience. The story is described as edgy with a psychological horror tone, but opinions on its quality vary. The puzzle pieces can be hard to see against dark backgrounds.
