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 poignant and reflective journey through a desolate world, where two sisters work together to solve puzzles and uncover their past, with a gentle pace and a focus on exploration and personal connection.

What players say

Players praise the touching story and art style but note clunky combat and simple puzzles. The lack of a manual save frustrates some, while others find the 1–2 hour length fine. The game is widely recognized as a student project.
