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

You float through serene, mystical afterworlds, solving gentle puzzles while uncovering quiet, bittersweet stories of the deceased.

What players say

Players consistently praise the beautiful environments and emotional storytelling, while noting the puzzles are surprisingly difficult for a relaxing game. A few report progress-halting bugs, and the inability to manually save levels is a common complaint.
