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 brooding narrative adventure where each choice casts a long shadow in a world woven from Slavic folklore and grim fairy tales.

What players say

Players praise the art and Slavic folklore setting but warn the game has only two short stories and feels unfinished. Reviews consistently report that the developers abandoned the project, leaving bugs and unattainable achievements unfixed. Players split on recommending it.
