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 solitary sci-fi exploration where you piece together a mystery while navigating an unstable alien world.

What players say

Players say the game is a maze of repetitive corridors with simple, often tedious puzzles like sliding tiles. The story is told entirely through text logs, and the ending is anticlimactic. Some appreciate the minimalist sound design, but many find the environments barren and the gameplay boring.
