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 gentle, music-driven stroll through a hand-drawn city where you explore, chat, and play piano at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful art and jazz soundtrack, but many find the gameplay repetitive and the walking speed too slow. The story of a struggling musician resonates with creative people, though some call the narrative predictable and the protagonist unlikable.
