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 quiet, introspective journey through memory and loss, told via exploration and puzzle solving in a stark, lonely space.

What players say

Players praise this free walking simulator as an emotionally taxing journey about a man's last days, with good visuals and a subtle soundtrack. Some find its philosophy underwhelming, but most recommend it for the story and moral questions it raises.
