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

You explore fragmented spaces at a gentle pace, piecing together memories through simple puzzles and journal clues, with a somber, introspective feel.

What players say

Players praise this free short game for its emotional portrayal of dementia, with a creepy atmosphere and sound design that build tension. Many wish it were longer, and a few note minor bugs with achievements.
