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, gentle walking experience through a fantasy book world, best enjoyed at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-painted 3D art and soothing music but are split on gameplay: some enjoy the low-key exploration, while others find the lack of a save system, air walls, and gem-hunting tedious. Many report motion sickness, and the short one-to-two-hour story is seen as a polished student project rather than a full game.
