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 oversee an AI's upgrades at a deliberate, idle pace while dialogue and atmosphere build a quiet, introspective mystery.

What players say

Players are split on this walking simulator-meets-idler set on a space station. Many praise the atmosphere and story but warn the gameplay is mostly watching timers and opening slow doors. The game is short, around 3-8 hours, and some report progress-blocking bugs.
