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, contemplative point-and-click horror game where you quietly explore a pixel-art forest, solve simple puzzles, and uncover a personal tragedy through darkly humorous and psychological moments.

What players say

Players enjoy the retro pixel art and sound design, but many criticize excessive pixel-hunting and unclear hotspot placement that leads to frustration. The game is very short and some feel it should be priced lower.
