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.

What players say

Players enjoy this short, story-driven adventure that clocks in around three hours, combining walking through seasonal pixel-art scenery with a simple semi-random turn-based battle system. Some note the storytelling feels lost in translation, while others praise the bittersweet emotional tone and quality-of-life features.
