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 tense, slow-burn mystery in a pixelated village where you investigate alien-like phenomena and missing persons under a looming sense of dread.

What players say

Players are split on whether the weirdness works: some are hooked by the unnerving story, others find it a bizarre mess with no real point. The game is short with easy achievements, but grammatical errors are common and the ending feels like a cop-out to many.
