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 linear, text-based narrative with hand-drawn animated cutscenes that focuses on a psychological war story, feeling relaxed yet emotionally charged.

What players say

Players praise the story as thought provoking with interesting themes, but some find the tone edgy and note that long stretches lack music, making it feel unfinished. The game is short, around 2-3 hours, and free.
