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-paced investigative journey through fragmented memories, where you piece together clues in an eerie, empty hospital.

What players say

Players call it a short walking simulator with a fragmented detective story, but warn it is unfinished and feels like a chapter rather than a full game. There are frequent crash bugs and abandoned support, and some say it is an asset flip.
