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 hand-drawn point-and-click adventure that feels like a storybook blending childlike curiosity with an undercurrent of unease.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and dark fairy-tale tone, but note it is a short 2-hour episode with no voice acting and no further episodes released since 2019, leaving the story unfinished.
