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, contemplative text-based journey through a decaying world, driven by mysterious dreams and philosophical choices.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and atmosphere but are split on the ending: some find it profound, others confusing. It's a short visual novel, about 90 minutes, with limited gameplay and a meditative tone.
