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 quiet, foreboding trek through beautiful woods where a disembodied narrator guides your every step toward an opaque secret.

What players say

Players say it is a very short walking simulator that takes about one hour to complete. The graphics and forest atmosphere are praised, but many feel the normal price is too high and recommend buying only at a steep discount. Opinions on the story are mixed, with some finding it intriguing and others unsatisfying.
