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 heartfelt and bittersweet coming-of-age tale with hand-drawn visuals and meaningful dialogue choices, where the end of the world looms over senior year.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and emotional story, but many note the choices have little impact on the ending. A vocal subset compares it unfavorably to the free fan game Snoot Game, with some saying that game is better and still updated.
