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, melancholic first-person exploration through dark, memory-fractured environments, where waiting itself feels heavy and oppressive.

What players say

Players call it a short walking simulator with limited interaction: you only collect notes in a dark house. The atmosphere and sound design create suspense, but optimization is poor and many find it too simplistic.
