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, choose-your-own-adventure story where you guide a marble artist through artist's block with warmth and occasional comedy.

What players say

Players love the adorable marble characters and find the story about an artist's block both funny and heartfelt. Some note the writing can be cliche at times, but the comedy helps. It runs well on Steam Deck.
