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-burn mystery steeped in folklore where you investigate supernatural clues as a novice witch, with an atmospheric and story-rich feel driven by player choices.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short, cozy visual novel with charming, watercolor-style art and Slavic-inspired witchy themes. The story, about a trainee witch and her cat solving a deserted village, takes about an hour and offers multiple choices for replayability.
