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 slow, introspective journey through a minimalist maze where you converse with your own shadow at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the music and visual style, and note that the shadow's form changes based on your answers. But many find it too short with easy puzzles, and some mention glitched achievements or rough edges.
