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, solitary exploration through a vast, stylized wilderness where you piece together the past by reading scattered diaries and solving quiet puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the story and large world but are split on its execution. Many find the distances between points of interest too long with nothing to do, leading to boredom. Others enjoy the meditative orienteering and compass navigation. Common complaints include janky physics, no manual save, and dying forcing long repeats.
