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, wordless adventure through a hand-drawn world where quiet puzzles and detailed animations tell a bittersweet story.

What players say

Players call it a short, easy point-and-click adventure with beautiful hand-drawn art and a wordless story told through thought bubbles. Puzzles are simple and the game can be 100%ed in about three hours, though the story can be confusing. It draws comparisons to Amanita Design games, and many note it is a Ukrainian indie title.
