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 brief, narrative-focused journey where you move through a tense but understated escape scenario, driven by story rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the short, well-written narrative that tackles political and religious persecution, though some note it mirrors real-world struggles. The pixel art and multiple endings encourage replay, and the Brazilian indie origin is a point of pride.
