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

What players say
Players call this a short, satisfying puzzle game about friendship and memories, told without dialogue. The time-manipulation puzzles are gentle and never stress you, while the hand-painted visuals and soundtrack create a cozy but melancholic mood. Most finish in 2-3 hours and find the ending bittersweet.
