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, narrative-driven experience blending romantic mystery with whimsical slice-of-life moments.

What players say

Players praise the dreamlike story and world, with its dense lore and invented language. The rhythm game is beginner-friendly but can spike in difficulty, and the cast of gender-ambiguous characters is a standout.
