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-paced, introspective journey through a desolate city, evoking feelings of isolation and uncertainty mixed with a quiet undercurrent of hope.

What players say

Players describe it as a short walking simulator with a melancholic, pandemic-era story about mental health. They praise the visuals and sound but criticize the copy-pasted level design, an overlong second half, and bugs like broken fullscreen. Opinions split on whether the ambiguous ending is profound or unsatisfying.
