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 gentle, introspective visual novel where you guide an unlucky writer through a poignant, text-driven story with a calm, emotional tone.

What players say

Players call it an interactive novel with beautiful monochrome art and a sad piano soundtrack, but they split on the story: some find it moving and full of hidden clues, while others say it drags and the ending leaves too many threads. Many note the lack of a skip button hurts replay, and early access means content is incomplete.
