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 free-to-play 2D visual novel/RPG with mystery, emotional depth, and philosophical undertones, where you explore a twisty narrative through puzzle-solving and linear progression.

What players say

Players praise the ethnology-themed story but warn about wildly inconsistent character art and a short runtime. It is clearly a small, free indie project, and while the narrative is considered solid, the visuals can be jarring.
