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 quick, ever-shifting journey through cartoonish worlds where each random scene throws a new silly problem you solve with found items and a bit of trial and error.

What players say

Players describe a very short interactive novel, around five minutes per run, where hopping between parallel universes feels promising but the random scene system leads to repetition. The writing draws sharp criticism, with some calling it poorly written fan-fiction that would never be published in print.
