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 clunky, anxious comedy where you fumble through awkward social vignettes with intentionally clumsy controls and a mix of laugh-out-loud and heartfelt moments.

What players say

Players describe a very short, free game about a socially anxious bear navigating awkward daily situations. It resonates especially with players who experience anxiety themselves, and many note it is funny, sad, and heartwarming despite its brief 15-minute runtime.
