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 deadpan parody of competitive gaming that reduces the entire experience to holding down one key, demanding absurd patience and focus for leaderboard glory.

What players say

Players say the entire game is holding down the W key to walk, making it a joke endurance test with leaderboard bragging rights. They recommend it for comedic sessions with friends, but note it is a one-note concept.
