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

You quietly walk through memory-filled landscapes, reflecting on loss and time.

What players say

Players call this a very short and surreal walking sim with cute art but a confusing story that leaves most unsure what they played. A frustrating maze section stands out, and some report motion sickness from the camera.
