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 quiet, introspective journey through a desolate world where emotions shift the meaning of each repeated waking moment.

What players say

Players praise how each emotion changes the world's visuals, music, and text. Runs take 5-10 minutes with 44 endings, but one review calls it too short and overpriced. The start feels slow before the emotion system hooks you.
