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 brief, hand-drawn psychological thriller that builds a tense, melancholic atmosphere through its stormy setting and haunting story.

What players say

Players finish in under an hour and describe it as a walking sim with little gameplay beyond moving forward and using a couple of items. The art and music are consistently praised, though many feel the story is clichéd and the price is too high for the length, recommending it only on sale. Some report movement stutter.
