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 melancholic yet peaceful slow-burn life sim where you wander through empty summer days, grappling with solitude and small mundane rituals.

What players say

Players describe it as a meditative, atmospheric game about loneliness and routine, set in a sun-drenched Soviet apartment block. The story is about writing a book to break free, but the experience is minimal: you can only work and sleep to advance time. Some feel the emptiness works, while others find the lack of audio and everyday interaction frustrating.
