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 casual yet macabre sandbox where you orchestrate accidental deaths with pixelated charm, balancing strategy and dark humor.

What players say

Players enjoy the pixel art and dark humor, but many call the game short. They consistently complain about missing quality-of-life features: no skip button for cutscenes, no undo, and no quick save.
