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 fantasy journey that feels like playing through an animated film, focusing on reluctant partnership and quiet discovery.

What players say

Players are split: many call it a beautiful, Zelda-like adventure with great art and fun boss fights, but just as many report game-breaking bugs, clunky combat, unresponsive controls, and missing features like Steam Cloud saves and working achievements. The small two-person dev team is often noted.
