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 quiet, puzzle-driven exploration through a forest as you piece together clues about a friend's disappearance.

What players say

Players like the puzzles and voice acting but say the game is short and has no save system, which means restarting from scratch on failure. Some enjoy speedrunning, while others find the shift from cozy exploration to a bullet-hell chapter jarring.
