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, unsettling point-and-click adventure that plays like an interactive desktop, focusing on introspective conversations and psychological tension.

What players say

Players praise the art and soundtrack, but note the game is very short, around 20 to 45 minutes. The story deals with eating disorders and grooming, aimed at younger audiences, and players appreciate its moral message. Some wish for more content, and one review says the writing felt too on the nose.
