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.

A calm, reflective journey through a melancholic world, driven by exploration and narrative.

What players say

Players praise the Tim Burton-inspired art and the forbidden love story between a zombie boy and a human girl, but many report characters frequently getting stuck in level geometry, forcing restarts. The game is short at around 4-5 hours, with 14 diorama-style levels and a single looping music track.
