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

You question passengers at a border, balancing bureaucratic tedium with flashes of tension and dark humour.

What players say

Players compare it to Papers, Please, set in a sci-fi border checkpoint where you decide who is human or alien. They praise the premise and multiple endings but are split on length and depth: some find it too repetitive and unfinished, while others enjoy the story and replay value.
