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 grim and atmospheric pixel art game where you manage scarce resources and make difficult moral choices as a body collector during the bubonic plague.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric pixel art and plague setting, but many find the burial-focused gameplay repetitive within a few hours. Reviews frequently note bugs and a price that feels high for the amount of content, though some say the developers are responsive to bug reports.
