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 quiet, observational experience where the mood shifts from serene to somber as story and puzzles unfold.

What players say

Players call it a very short experience, around 25 minutes, with beautiful hand-drawn watercolor art and a bittersweet story about loss. The puzzles are simple and relaxing, but reviewers note they are jigsaw-like so it can feel repetitive, and some say it is incomplete because the developer has promised a chapter 2.
