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 quiet, solitary experience that feels like stepping into a painter's world, with a meditative and personal tone.

What players say

Players call this a short, contemplative walking simulator that uses liminal spaces to explore a person's memories. Some love the unique cardboard cutout characters and emotional story, while others find sections like the labyrinth overlong and the movement slow. A few note technical issues, such as needing to force-close the game at the ending.
