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 slow, anxious crawl through surreal liminal spaces where every detail might be a threat and the clocks are your only guide.

What players say

Players finish in under 30 minutes across three runs through eerie liminal spaces. Some find the final area too dark to see anomalies, while most praise the surreal atmosphere.
