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 slowly explore beautiful, desolate environments as dynamic music and interactive flashbacks gently unfold a personal story of love and loss.

What players say

Players describe a short, narrated walking simulator with beautiful natural scenery, but performance is a major issue with stutter, jitter, and a persistent screen door effect even on high-end hardware. Movement is slow and lacks teleportation or snap turning, which contributes to nausea for some, while others praise the relaxing atmosphere and emotional story.
