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.

A gentle, contemplative simulation adventure with a calm pace and atmospheric mood.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and atmosphere but split on quality: some find it scary and well-optimized, others complain about cheap jumpscares and bugs. Nearly all agree it is very short, often under 30 minutes, and many call for a longer sequel.
