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 tense, story-driven point-and-click where you manage a fragile relationship with a cursed painting through careful choices and observation.

What players say

Players praise the story and atmosphere, calling it a short, simple puzzle game that shifts from horror to a melancholic narrative. Many played it on mobile years ago and bought the Steam version to support the developer, with the added episode being a highlight. Some want more content despite the new episode.
