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 short, introspective puzzle adventure with a haunting atmosphere, where a woman returns to a forest and uncovers unsettling truths through cryptic encounters.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and dark fairy-tale atmosphere but note the game lacks manual saving, has a pixely death screen, and environments feel empty. It is short with two endings, and opinions split on whether it is memorable enough to recommend.
