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 contemplative musical journey through a surreal dreamlike world, using a violin to shape environments and solve puzzles at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players describe a surreal adventure where music drives exploration, but many cannot play at all due to a black-screen bug on AMD hardware. Even when it runs, reviewers report broken platforming, confusing storytelling, and poor polish, while a few praise its atmospheric beauty and emotional depth.
