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 gentle, calming experience of writing and receiving supportive, anonymous letters accompanied by lo-fi chill music.

What players say

Players are split on Kind Words. Many find it a genuinely comforting place to vent and receive anonymous encouragement, but a vocal minority argues the relentless positivity feels artificial and dismissive, comparing it to AI-generated platitudes and warning it is no substitute for professional help.
