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

you play as a black cat reaper's intern, softly exploring serene, ethereal remnants to gently guide lost spirits onward.

What players say

Players call it a very short free game where you play as a cat helping humans, finished in under 20 minutes. The cat's running animation is out of sync and jumping is limited to preset spots, which frustrates some. Others enjoy the atmosphere and soundtrack, and note it has two endings, but technical problems like no sound after chapter 1 and crashes are common.
