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 contemplative and emotional walk through grief, where stop-motion visuals and player choices deliver a bittersweet story about letting go.

What players say

Players finish it in 15 to 30 minutes and wish it were longer, but praise the beautiful stop-motion-inspired art and the touching story about grief. Some feel the narrative jumps into conflict too quickly and would benefit from more chapters.
