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, melancholic point-and-click journey through a stylized, dark world where grief and hidden demons are explored with haunting atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, sound design and visual style, though many find the game too dark to see clearly. The story is strong but the gameplay is simple and short, lasting about 1.5 to 3 hours, with easy puzzles that don't get in the way. Some note the interactions feel slow and sticky, and the narrative can be vague.
