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

You watch through hidden cameras, piecing together a quiet domestic life that takes a sudden turn when a crisis forces a moral choice.

What players say

A very short hidden-object visual novel that players finish in under an hour. The story has three endings and the art is praised, but the adult content requires DLC that was removed from Steam, leaving some feeling the game is not worth its price.
