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, atmospheric walking simulator where you explore eerie, locked-down houses and unravel a family mystery with a companion who provides commentary.

What players say

Players call this a short, atmospheric walking simulator with nice graphics and music, but many also report frustrating bugs, getting stuck on objects, a jump that often fails, and a companion that blocks movement. The story and puzzles are polarizing: some find them moving, others call them predictable and poorly written.
