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 lyrical, atmospheric puzzle-platformer where you explore beautiful, colorful worlds with a dragon-shaped scarf companion, blending relaxing platforming with an emotional allegorical story.

What players say

Players are split on Scarf. Some enjoy its peaceful atmosphere and visual style, comparing it to Journey or Rime. Others report clunky controls with a frustrating turning radius, unskippable cutscenes, frequent performance drops, and softlock bugs that can force a restart.
