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 warm, cinematic afterlife journey with gentle stealth and a reflective, emotional tone.

What players say

Players praise the art style and story but are frustrated by the camera, especially during platforming, and the lack of updates since the 2023 launch. Stealth sections with invisible enemies and a finicky flashlight add to the friction, though puzzle difficulty is considered mild.
