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 brief, melancholic walking simulator with light puzzles and voice acting that tells a heart-wrenching story about abandoned creatures facing their end.

What players say

Players describe a brief, story-driven adventure with cute kobolds and excellent voice acting, but warn it is a sad tale with no happy ending. Many wish the game were longer, feeling the story and character attachment are rushed. The lock puzzle is a common point of frustration, and opinions on the writing are split.
