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, atmospheric walk through a cold and beautiful world, focused on story and gentle exploration without pressure.

What players say

Players call this a very short, linear walking simulator with no real gameplay beyond guiding the heroine. They praise the soundtrack and emotional coming-of-age story, but many warn the price is too high for its 90-minute length. The art style is simple and some find the eyeless character designs off-putting.
