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 somber, hand-drawn journey through a climate-ravaged landscape, where every choice weighs on the characters' fragile hope.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous art and emotional writing, but are split on its heavy-handed climate message. Some find the bleak atmosphere and difficult choices compelling, while others feel the eco-agenda overwhelms the story and characters.
