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

You play as a border collie gently restoring color to a melancholy world, exploring misty Scottish islands with quiet companionship and small acts of joy.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story and beautiful visuals, but some find the early pacing a slog. The game is a slow, puzzle-driven walking simulator with no minimap, though the heartfelt ending and music win over most. A few note that jumping mechanics feel unpolished.
