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, voice-led conversation with a mysterious guide in a strange room, where each quiet choice inches you toward resolution.

What players say

Players praise the full voice acting but are split on the experience: some find it effectively uncomfortable and well-written, while others call it a shallow, linear click-through with a rushed ending. It's very short and free, a game jam project tied to the developer's larger universe.
