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 puzzle game that feels like drifting through memory, with fluid physics and a gentle, introspective soundtrack.

What players say

Players agree the game never left early access, stuck on chapter 2 for years and abandoned by the developer. The puzzles rely on vague narration that can be confusing, and the whole experience is quite short. Some appreciate the nostalgic trip through childhood memories and old consoles.
