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 brief, dialogue-focused interactive story that explores deep ethical questions through playful yet unsettling conversations with a child and her AI assistant.

What players say

Players say the game is a short narrative experience about AI that asks thoughtful moral questions, though some feel the choices are surface-level and the developer's opinions push the story in a predetermined direction. A few find the AI-generated voices and songs jarring.
