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-burn, first-person psychological thriller that immerses you in a dystopian world with a tense, cinematic, and story-rich feel.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, visuals, and emotional story, often comparing it to works like 1984. The game is a walking simulator with psychological horror elements and a surreal narrative, but the pacing is slow and the story can be cryptic or unsatisfying for some. Reviews split on whether the deep themes succeed or come across as pretentious.
