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

Explore a lonely, beautifully decaying world as a reawakened android, solving thoughtful puzzles while an uninterrupted camera pulls you through a poignant, mysterious story.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, atmospheric point-and-click puzzle game that was originally released on mobile. Most finish in 2 to 3 hours, with puzzles described as creative but not very difficult. There is some debate over the PC price, as the mobile version costs significantly less. The game's single continuous camera shot and melancholic story about a lonely robot are frequently mentioned.
