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 choice-driven, atmospheric musical experience where your lyric choices shape the mood and narrative of each song.

What players say

Players are split on Evergreen Blues. Some find it a relaxing music and art experience where you choose song lyrics, while others call it boring and more of an interactive demo than a game. At about 30 minutes, it does not overstay its welcome, but the limited options and repetitive structure leave some wanting more.
