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 thoughtful and poignant puzzle-platformer where each character's movement and abilities reflect the bittersweet act of piecing together fragmented memories.

What players say

Players praise the emotional family story and storybook art style, but some report game-breaking bugs, especially in the Love chapter. The game takes 2-3 hours and has puzzles that are cool without being stressful. Players split on performance issues, with some saying optimization could be improved.
