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, melancholic walk through a garden that feels heavy with loss and quiet obsession.

What players say

A very short walking simulator about a man gardening with his own blood, told across four seasons. Players enjoy the retro Playstation-era atmosphere but some find the tank controls awkward to handle.
