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 short, emotional journey through a colorful pixel world that feels gentle yet tinged with melancholy and light horror.

What players say

Players praise the art, music and atmosphere but split on the story. Many find it predictable or lacking foreshadowing, though a few call it charming. The main complaints are frequent death without a skip option, chase-heavy gameplay, and a missing always-run toggle. A few players report control lag or quick time event problems on high refresh rate monitors.
