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 dark, surreal journey through cryptic environments with turn-based combat and branching narrative choices.

What players say

Players praise the unique grotesque atmosphere and soundtrack, but the combat is shallow, relying on guessing random weaknesses with no progression, and the game is short with an abrupt ending.
