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 melancholy, thoughtful 2D adventure that blends puzzle-solving with a philosophical tone, driven by a personal and reflective narrative.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story and music but criticize poor voice acting, bad translation, and janky controls. The game is very short, and opinion splits on whether it is worth full price or only on sale.
