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 wordless, emotional journey through a dog's entire life, told with simple RPG Maker graphics and gentle interaction.

What players say

Players say this is a seven-minute RPG Maker game where you mostly watch a dog suffer abuse with almost no interaction. Some find it emotionally affecting, but most call it barely a game, a short film rather than something you play.
