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 thoughtful, gently melancholic journey through a hand-painted world as you explore and make choices, experiencing joy and sorrow through an innocent, wandering creature's eyes.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful watercolor art and music, but split on the gameplay: some find it slow and clunky, others say it's not really a game. The story stays true to the spirit of Frankenstein, focusing on the creature's lonely journey, but some found it boring.
