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.

What players say

Players praise the game's representation of Brazilian northeastern folklore and culture, calling it a short but heartfelt adventure. Puzzles are described as clever and challenging, while the simple combat and charming pixel art round out the experience. The only consistent complaint is the save system, which only saves on screen transitions and can force players to redo sections.
