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 heartfelt and stylized point-and-click story that balances emotional weight with comedy as you guide a teenager through a friendship that takes unexpected turns.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the puzzles and story, others report bugs like a game lock-up on a car search and untranslated dialogue. The biggest issue is that the game was never updated and feels like an unfinished first episode with little plot movement.
