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, melancholic walk through the relationship between two creators, told via pixel art and text, with a quiet, introspective pace.

What players say

Players call it a short, emotional story about the struggle of being an indie game developer, with a bittersweet tone that resonates with creatives. The simple platforming sections split up a narrative that many found relatable, though some note the characters can feel a bit flat.
