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 narrative experience that feels like piecing together a fragmented memory, with a quiet, introspective tone and a sense of emerging mystery.

What players say

Players praise the unusual mix of Russian history and fantasy, with cycle-based progression that resets on death. The RPG elements and faction relations are engaging, but many find repeating early content frustrating. Music and atmosphere are highlights, though some dislike the fourth-wall-breaking narration.
