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 surreal and poetic visual novel that feels like wandering through a beautifully absurd dreamscape tinged with eerie undertones.

What players say

Players praise the Alice-inspired world, character art, and poetic storytelling, but split on the execution. The rhyming dialogue wears thin for some, combat is simple and repetitive, and the game is short with little replay value beyond seeing all endings with Alice and Alcie.
