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 bleak, text-driven walk through a depressive St. Petersburg winter, where the player reads through a lost poet's suicidal reflections.

What players say

A very short visual novel about a man named Slava struggling with suicidal thoughts. Players note it is more about choosing endings than making meaningful choices, with decent art and music but poor writing and grammar errors. Reviews disagree on whether the depressive tone is compelling or just poorly written.
