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, deliberate point-and-click mystery where you piece together dark secrets through pixel art scenes and text-based choices.

What players say

Players are split on this short visual novel. Many praise its 1920s atmosphere, soundtrack, and unusual story about taboo love and PTSD, but just as many call the narrative shallow and the writing rushed. The point-and-click elements are barely there, choices feel meaningless, and the English translation is rough.
