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 brooding, narrative-heavy turn-based RPG where you guide a mourning woman through symbolic, wintry landscapes, battling inner demons in deliberate, tactical encounters.

What players say

Players call Winter Voices a unique and atmospheric game with a dark story and unusual combat mechanics, though opinions are split on whether that makes it brilliant or frustrating. Some praise the writing as beautiful, others call it pretentious, and many criticize the slow grid movement, linearity, and technical instability.
