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 contemplative interactive novel where your choices shape a quiet story of a rural girl seeking escape and self-discovery.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and emotional writing but are split on the story: some call it a powerful, realistic depiction of rural women's struggles, while others find the protagonist's passivity frustrating and the uniformly bleak endings, even in the new-game-plus, a missed chance for hope. The romance with a distant online figure feels one-sided to many.
