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 gentle, emotionally resonant puzzle game where you explore a diorama-like apartment building, moving between past and present to solve puzzles and shape the lives of its inhabitants.

What players say

Players praise the emotional storytelling and charming art and music, but many find the puzzles obscure and wish for a hint system. It is a short, relaxing game that explores love through a time-bending mechanic in an apartment building.
