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 subdued, introspective journey through emotional aftermath, with quiet exploration and a reflective, melancholic tone.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous illustrations and atmospheric music, and many enjoy the toxic queer romance between Alice and the mirror entity Dinah. The biggest complaint is the length, often under an hour, which leaves some feeling the story is underdeveloped. A few note dialogue attribution typos and one abrupt ending.
