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 slow-burn unraveling of hidden systems through exploration of strange, occult-themed environments, relying purely on player insight.

What players say

Players consistently praise the game's knowledge-lock puzzles and draw comparisons to Outer Wilds, especially the second chapter. But they also report rough camera controls, a standout third chapter that falters, and a short runtime of around five hours.
