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 calm, thoughtful journey through abandoned islands, solving puzzles and uncovering secrets at your own pace with a sense of quiet mystery.

What players say

Players praise it as a short, beautiful Myst-like by a solo dev, but split on the puzzles: some find them fair and well-integrated, others complain about pixel hunting and backtracking, especially the valve puzzles.
