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 quiet, protective journey through a shadowy afterlife where you gently guide vulnerable souls toward safety while wolves lurk in the darkness.

What players say

Players praise the unique art and music, but consistently report severe performance issues like lag and overheating even on high-end PCs. The game is short, around 1.5–2 hours, and players split on whether the lack of tutorials or a map is confusing. Some also note bugs that trap sheep or force restarts.
