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, meditative walk through rainy woods with soft music and a poem, designed purely to soak in the mood of rain.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a relaxing, atmospheric rain walk with a nice soundtrack, while others call it repetitive and frustrating due to slow movement, unclear objectives, and a linear, boxed-in world. Several note the game is over in under an hour.
