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 gentle, nostalgic journey through childhood, focusing on small joys and quiet exploration without high stakes or intense drama.

What players say

Players praise its cozy slice-of-life story set in the 1990s, with detailed puppet-like visuals and nostalgic touches. A common complaint is short length, often finished in one evening, though some see that as a plus.
