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, introspective visual novel where you explore dreamlike rooms and personal stories through point-and-click choices.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and emotional writing, but many note the game is very short at 30 to 40 minutes and wish for more time with each character. The stories are described as bittersweet and thought-provoking.
