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 reverent, hand-crafted clay world where you guide a fragile flame through tense stealth and dark fantasy vignettes, balancing wonder with menace.

What players say

Players praise the handcrafted stop-motion art, music and emotional story, but opinions split on the gameplay: some call it a beautiful walking sim, others find it shallow with repetitive hiding and a companion that gets stuck. Most finish in 4-6 hours.
