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

You navigate a quiet, oppressively solitary journey through a visual novel where hope fades into despair in dead silence.

What players say

Players call this a very short, bittersweet experience that takes about 15-25 minutes. They praise the fitting soundtrack and emotional story, though some note the art uses AI imitating Ghibli style and wish for more gameplay elements.
