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 short, reflective interactive novel where you see through the protagonist's perspective, offering a calm and introspective narrative experience.

What players say

Players describe a profoundly emotional short experience that uses its gameplay itself to tell a story about dementia. Many say to go in blind. It is frequently compared to Florence, though a few players found the religious framing or romanticized treatment of a difficult subject off-putting.
