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 slow, hand-painted point-and-click journey through a surreal sci-fi world with a darkly funny, relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-painted art and atmospheric music, but many report bugs, a broken save system, and a poor English translation that hurts the detective noir story. The game is short but some are blocked from the good ending by glitches. Reviewers say it feels abandoned by its solo developer since 2018.
