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.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, spooky point-and-click visual novel set in abandoned places photographed by the developer. The story is dark with heavy themes like substance abuse and self-harm, but balanced by well-placed humor. Some love it but warn it is pricey for its length and rarely goes on sale.
