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 explore a fragmented archive of film footage by clicking and teleporting between scenes, slowly piecing together a cryptic story through observation and curiosity.

What players say

Players love the mystery and the way it weaves film clips together, but many find the search-by-clicking-anything mechanic tedious. Opinions are split on the ending, which some say appears abruptly or can be accidentally skipped. Technical issues like crashes and bugs are noted.
