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 quiet, introspective visual novel exploring grief and trauma through a blurred line between reality and dreams.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and visuals but are split on the writing: some find the text dense, dry, and error-prone, while others appreciate its literary depth and style. The protagonist's voice acting and unnatural dialogues draw criticism, and most agree the game is currently too short with only one episode.
