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 gentle, introspective word-puzzle journey through a hand-drawn world where solving irrational thoughts gradually shifts a lonely perspective toward a better day.

What players say

Players are split on this short puzzle game about overcoming negative self-talk. Many praise the heartfelt story and how the art style evolves with the character's mood, but just as many complain about buggy, clunky gameplay, bad camera angles, and frustrating puzzles that rely on trial and error.
