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 gently humorous and introspective point-and-click journey about unplugging from social media, paced with small, heartfelt interactions and a warm, lo-fi aesthetic.

What players say

Players call it a short, wholesome narrative about disconnecting from phones, with charming art that reminds some of Night in the Woods. Some find the messaging heavy-handed and the characters unrelatable, but most enjoy the 2-3 hour experience for a cozy afternoon.
