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 slow, introspective night walk through a forest where reality blurs with the supernatural, driven by dialogue and choices rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the sound design and Slavic folklore theme, but many call it undercooked. The game is extremely short, often completed in under 30 minutes, and some endings feel tacked on. A few split on whether it is a promising start or not worth the price.
