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 simulation of daily cleaning chores in an atmospheric home environment, with an undercurrent of emotional weight.

What players say

Players describe a very short, story-driven walking simulator with a dark and emotional narrative. The voice acting is frequently praised, but the game is noted for lacking a content warning for its shocking finale. The actual cleaning gameplay is simple and secondary to the story.
