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 calm, meditative stroll through a ruined world, guided by warm characters and hushed melancholy.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story about love and loss, but note it is a pure walking sim with no puzzles and very slow movement. The 3-hour length is seen as overpriced unless bought on sale.
