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, contemplative side-scroller where you piece together your past through careful exploration and light puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the art, music and atmosphere, often comparing it to Little Nightmares or Inside. Opinions split on the puzzles and story: some find them clever and well-told, others call them boring or lacking. The live orchestral soundtrack is a standout, gameplay runs smoothly with no bugs.
