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, contemplative virtual walk that feels like an aimless meditation on mortality and meaning.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing walking simulator with a philosophical tone, but some call it a copy-paste of an earlier title. Performance is fine for most, though a few note aged physics like floating jumps and missing collision. The game focuses on collecting items and reading meditations in a night forest.
