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 slow, melancholy point-and-click mystery set in a perpetually rainy small town, where you investigate a friend's fate through rich animation and quiet atmosphere.

What players say
Players praise this short narrative about grief and friendship for its beautiful pixel art and emotional weight. Some find it too brief and lacking interactivity, but most agree it is a memorable, bittersweet experience worth the hour it takes.
