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 claustrophobic, frantic descent into madness with no safety net, delivered through unsettling plasticine art and a darkly comedic edge.

What players say

Players describe this as a surreal, nightmarish claymation experience with no jumpscares. It is very short but has multiple endings through branching paths, and players enjoy collecting achievements. Opinions divide on whether it is a fascinating art piece or a waste of money.
