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 free, brief, moody narrative adventure where you walk through a park and notice unsettling signs of darkness amid a teen's personal troubles.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the story and butterfly gardens, while others call it a short and boring walking simulator. The game lacks achievements and Chinese language support, and has high hardware demands.
