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 short, atmospheric branching story with ambient music and an unreliable narrator, meant to be read through in one or two sittings.

What players say

Players describe a short, branching visual novel that captures the loneliness of wandering a big city at night. The writing is praised as evocative and the atmosphere as dreamlike, but some note the music loops awkwardly and the story is left open to interpretation.
