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 play through a hand-drawn notebook world, solving puzzles by drawing while experiencing a gentle story about grief and acceptance.

What players say

Players praise this short, free platformer for its emotional story about grief and depression told through simple stick figures. They note it takes about an hour to finish, runs on weak hardware, and uses mouse-drawing to solve puzzles.
