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.

A contemplative narrative adventure where each decision shapes the fate of a fragile android colony.

What players say

Players praise the story, dialogue, and themes of free will, but nearly everyone complains the movement is painfully slow. Many recommend setting speed to fast. Some say the gameplay is mostly fetch quests and the RPG Maker visuals are dated. Reviewers note it runs well on low-end hardware.
