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.

A tense, story-driven domestic simulation about a struggling father managing his relationships with his adult daughters while hiding financial ruin.

What players say

Players praise the story and character development but nearly all note the complete lack of animations as a major downside. Multiple reviewers report features were removed or never delivered as advertised. The game centers on taboo family relationships, which some call a strong premise and others a dealbreaker.
