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, introspective point-and-click journey through the quiet highs and lows of teenage life in the year 2000

What players say

Players praise the honest, emotional story of growing up in the late 1990s, with strong character writing and a mix of humor and anxiety. The pixel art is messy but the adventure feels modern, inventory puzzles can stump you a couple of times and some content is easily missed without a guide.
