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 somber, atmospheric top-down journey through a symbolic mountain, where spiritual struggle and moral weight are felt in deliberate pacing and uneasy encounters.

What players say

Players describe a short, dark-themed game about carrying a cross and talking to people. Many find it emotionally powerful and spiritually meaningful, though some criticize it as poorly-made religious propaganda with bugs, bad grammar, and frustratingly slow gameplay.
