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 whimsical yet slightly eerie point-and-click adventure where you guide a white cat through a hand-drawn world of ghosts and puzzles, searching for a way to save a loved one.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn Japanese-folklore visuals and relaxing music, but the short length is padded by the cat's slow movement. A known bug can lock progress and force a restart, splitting players on whether it is a design flaw or a genuine glitch.
