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 heavy, emotional point-and-click drama where tense choices and a grim post-Soviet setting shape a story about guilt and sacrifice.

What players say

Players describe a bleak, emotionally heavy point-and-click set in 1990s post-Soviet poverty. The hand-painted art and Ukrainian voice acting are consistently praised, but the story offers no relief, ending on a down note. Some mention bugs and the lack of manual saving as frustrations.
