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 guided meta-tour through game interaction tropes, with a darkly comedic and unnerving undertone.

What players say

Players compare it to The Stanley Parable but find it less engaging and more repetitive. The game loops with minor changes each run, leading to what some call a pointless ending. There are reports of a game-breaking softlock on a puzzle. Opinions split: some enjoy the unsettling atmosphere and meta-commentary, others find it dull and a waste of time.
