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

Exploring a rainy island at a leisurely pace, solving puzzles and talking to characters to piece together a mystery.

What players say

Players praise the cozy Pacific Northwest atmosphere, music, and whale theme, but are split on the puzzles: some find them balanced and fun while others call the clam hunting and backtracking tedious. A known progression bug can softlock players if tasks are done out of order.
