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, personal simulation that aims to share the developer's own experiences living with Asperger Syndrome through everyday interactions and reflections.

What players say

Players are deeply split on this game. Some call it a broken, poorly made experience with mechanics that don't work and controls that are among the worst they have seen. Others find it an accurate and moving representation of living with Asperger's, useful for understanding friends or themselves, though they admit the gameplay is simple and the graphics are weak.
