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 brief, atmospheric psychological experience with minimalist pixel art and text-driven storytelling that immerses you in the keeper's tense inner world.

What players say

Players describe it more as an interactive art piece than a game, with nearly no gameplay beyond a few clicks. It is short, has multiple endings, and the English voice acting is rough but charming.
