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, story-driven point-and-click adventure through a beautifully hand-drawn fantasy world, weaving emotional story beats with gentle puzzles and light comedy.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but are split on the puzzles, calling some of them obtuse enough to require a guide. The story and its ending get strong reactions, both positive and negative, and the world's melancholic tone is a recurring note.
