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

Playing feels like sifting through a nostalgic scrapbook of 90s music and personal journals, piecing together a bittersweet love story at a leisurely, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt story, professional voice acting, and memorable original music, comparing the deduction mechanics to Obra Dinn. Some find the character journals repetitive or the audio sliders missing, but overall the game is seen as a short, focused puzzle adventure at a very low price.
