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 gentle, melancholy walk through a sun-drenched rural landscape where time feels suspended and every sight hums with forgotten stories.

What players say

Players are split on this walking simulator set in a Japanese village. Many praise the atmospheric visuals and music, but others find the story delivered through long text walls is tedious and the exploration is limited. The free mode offers simple sightseeing, while the main story mode is a narrative-heavy experience with minimal interaction.
