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, contemplative experience of burning toys in a fireplace, blending cozy warmth with dark satire and a sense of quiet melancholy.

What players say

Players describe it as a cozy, short game (2–6 hours) about burning items in a fireplace and solving combo puzzles. Many appreciate its subtle commentary on consumer culture, but note a crash bug and that missing a key item forces a full replay for achievements.
