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 relaxing sci-fi visual novel where you solve irregularly shaped nonograms to guide a robot engineer through a crisis, with choices that shape the story.

What players say

Players praise the fun nonogram puzzles with unique shapes and quality of life features, but note the story is slow to start and ends on a cliffhanger in early access. The characters and voice acting are highlights, and the difficulty options make it friendly for newcomers while still challenging experienced players.
