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 dark, minimalist puzzle journey that feels like a short, introspective walk through a grim fantasy, with choices that weigh on the mind.

What players say

Players praise the narrator and hand-painted art, and many call the ending impactful and thought-provoking. The puzzles are varied but can be skipped when stuck. A common complaint is the small portrait screen format inherited from a mobile release. The game is very short, around one hour.
