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.

What players say

Players appreciate the atmospheric environments and voice acting but are divided on the writing, which many call preachy and surface-level. The game is a short walking simulator, roughly 2 to 3 hours long, and draws frequent comparisons to Tacoma. Some encounter game-breaking bugs, and the developer's disbandment after release is noted in reviews.
