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 retro-styled space station exploration game that balances eerie tension with humorous dialogue and light puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, sound design, and fully voiced audio logs, but many find the game too short and unfinished. The ending is a black screen with a non-functional quit button, and the stamina and sanity bars have no real purpose.
