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 slow, contemplative walk through a depressed writer's past, weighted with melancholy and quiet reflection.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, narrative walking sim about depression where you collect notes. Many complain there is no save feature and death sends you back to the start, others note items must be found in a strict order, making exploration frustrating. Players are split on whether the emotional story is worth the bugs and jank.
