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-paced, contemplative third-person adventure with light puzzle-solving that feels thoughtful and gently introspective.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful art and music, especially the music-based puzzles, but the game is very short at about 2 hours. Some players report performance issues and find the controls awkward. The game is only the first of five planned chapters, and years later there is no word on the rest, leaving many disappointed by its unfinished state.
