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 gentle, storybook-like wandering through peculiar rooms and translated folk tales, with a calm and contemplative pace.

What players say

Players describe a brief, surreal museum walk where short stories accompany each exhibit. Some find it a meditative and artistic experience, while others see it as a book with little game to it.
