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

An episodic narrative adventure that feels like a measured, dialogue-driven puzzle box with a theatrical, slightly foreboding tone.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and original chamber music, calling the short first episode a well-paced setup for a larger story. The werewolf protagonist and his distinctive voice earn heavy mention, and the option to highlight interactable objects is valued.
