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

An introspective, nonlinear walk through a dreamlike city where conversations and hidden secrets drive a personal mystery.

What players say

Players praise this short, atmospheric adventure for its open-ended exploration and mysterious world of bird people. They are split on the ending: some find it satisfying while others say it is abrupt and punishing with a save system that erases progress.
