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, atmospheric journey through lonely woods where unease grows with every step, driven by melancholy and the bond with a faithful dog.

What players say

Players call it a very short kinetic visual novel with no choices, praised for its gloomy atmosphere and tense story about a woman and her dog in a forest. But many are frustrated by the rushed, confusing ending and note the plot is predictable. Achievements have been broken since mid-2024, and some feel the game is too brief for its price.
