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.

A slow, cautious journey through a dark fantasy world steeped in Slavic myth, blending puzzle-solving and stealth with atmospheric exploration.

What players say

Players praise the Slavic mythology setting and atmosphere, but split on technical issues. Some report crashes and performance problems, while others mention smooth play on older hardware. A few reviewers flagged AI-generated art, voice, and music. The game has engaging puzzles and an eerie story, though some find it janky and confusing at times.
