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-paced interactive novel about memory and redemption, where you play a high school student unraveling strange events with a gentle, introspective tone.

What players say

Players praise the story's twists and emotional depth, but are split on the ending, some find it unsatisfying and hopeless, others appreciate the bittersweet tone. Performance and UI issues are noted, such as buggy voice timing and a lack of scene-jump, while the low price and full voice acting are seen as good value.
