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 gentle, contemplative walking simulator where you explore a 2D pixel-art town and its natural surroundings, investigating a lighthearted sabotage mystery at a community memory-powered device.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, music, and writing for balancing humor and emotional depth in a 2–3 hour story. Some note it is a walking simulator with simple gameplay, but most find it a charming and relaxing experience.
