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 fast-paced action-adventure where the emotional weight of abandoned toys drives exploration and combat.

What players say

Players praise the game's atmosphere, story, and cute protagonist, but nearly everyone criticizes the camera and controls as frustrating or broken. Frequent crashes and bugs are common complaints. Several note an unexpected homage to Eight Exit in the middle of the story, which some found jarring. Players are split on whether the game's potential outweighs its rough execution.
