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, choice-driven visual novel where you explore a historical palace and solve a low-stakes mystery through conversation.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short free visual novel with minigames, taking about 15 minutes to finish. The unique art style and inclusive font options stand out, and the historical Polish setting is appreciated. Opinions on the mystery resolution are mixed, with some finding it too simple.
