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, reflective walk through grief and unanswered questions, wrapped in a quiet, melancholy mystery.

What players say

Players call this a short, focused visual novel about grief and loss, set in Wales. Its single pivotal choice and compact 20,000-word length are often noted, and some find the message effective while others say it feels hand-fisted.
