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 slow, introspective journey through a wounded psyche where distorted memories and emotional truths gradually tighten their grip.

What players say

Players praise the story, calling it well-crafted and full of twists, with a satisfying ending that ties everything together. The grim fairy tale motif and jump scares are highlights, though some puzzles can be tedious or memory-heavy. Performance hitches and a couple of softlock bugs were reported near release, but feedback is overwhelmingly positive for a debut title.
