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

You wander through a series of distinctly furnished rooms, solving straightforward puzzles and following a seemingly frail guide while a quiet sense of mystery slowly builds.

What players say

Players praise the surreal story, strong art, and character design, with puzzles and choices that make it more interactive than a typical visual novel. Some find the plot abstract or the protagonist unsympathetic, and opinions split on whether the confusing time structure is intentional or a flaw.
