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

You explore a pixelated town, gathering herbs and solving puzzles while quietly working through betrayal and deciding your own path.

What players say

Players say the game starts brutally difficult, then becomes a hollow experience with an unfinished second part. The map feels empty, stamina runs out fast, and the story meanders between borrowed ideas without committing to any.
