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 point-and-click adventure that feels like a melancholic, theatrical descent into a hand-drawn world of betrayal and lust, driven by live guitar music.

What players say

Players describe a very short visual novel, about 7 to 10 minutes, with hand-drawn art and nice music. There is little to do beyond clicking and reading, and reviews split on whether that brief experience is meaningful or just a forgettable tech demo.
