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, story-driven journey through a surreal spirit world, combining exploration and light puzzle-solving with a touch of dark whimsy.

What players say

Players say this is a short, story-driven pixel-art adventure that serves as a prequel to My Big Sister, and it helps to know that before playing. Choices in the first chapter lock in endings, making replaying for all endings a chore. Some needed to switch to a beta branch to fix a dialogue box bug.
