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 quiet, bittersweet journey of bidding farewell to a forgotten world through borrowed bodies and fulfilled last wishes.

What players say

Players call it a short, emotionally heavy experience with minimal mechanics. The writing makes each robot character feel rich with just a few lines, and the soundtrack stands out. There is no replay value, and the game locks you out of restarting after the credits.
