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 quiet, contemplative text adventure where you piece together a melancholic future through branching conversations and atmospheric sci-fi vignettes.

What players say

Players praise Ceiba for its beautiful art, atmospheric music, and compelling sci-fi setting, but many note it is very short and lacks branching or depth compared to the developer's previous work, Athanasy. Some find the writing shallow or the protagonist awkward, while others appreciate the concise, emotional narrative.
