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 slow, atmospheric journey through a quiet, mysterious space where the player uncovers fragments of a story through exploration and reflection.

What players say

Players call it a short, cozy interactive narrative about a Berlin apartment seen through generations. The art and voice acting earn praise, but the missable achievements and inability to skip dialogue frustrate those who want to replay. One story draws sharp criticism for its ending, which some find undermining the game's themes.
