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 praise the stunning visuals, soundtrack, and fluid movement, with many calling it a relaxing experience similar to Journey and ABZÛ. However, the game is widely criticized for poor performance, including being unplayable on Steam Deck and lacking DLSS support, with some also finding it too short for its price.
