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, story-driven experience where you feel a light sense of urgency but mostly enjoy preparing and making choices to protect your home.

What players say

Players enjoy a lighthearted time-loop adventure with cute pixel art and multiple endings. The loop is short and the hint system helps, but some endings require trial and error or clever reading. Players often mention getting attached to specific characters like Minera.
