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

You wander a snowy, hand-drawn village, chatting with quirky locals and solving gentle puzzles to uncover wistful memories.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, cute free adventure with a nice story and a lot of different art styles. However, many note bugs, including a crash encounter, and the ending is abrupt.
