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, introspective detective story with a melancholic undertone, where subtle dialogue and logic puzzles reveal hidden truths about relationships and past sins.

What players say

Players describe a very short visual novel with two detective stories where you guess a birthday present. Some praise the puzzle mechanics and voice acting, while critical reviews call the writing sexist and a male fantasy.
