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 short, melancholy visual novel where you struggle to paint through physical and emotional pain, set to original music and partial voice acting.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art style and voice acting, but the game is very short at around 30 minutes. The story deals with grief and loss, and some find it heartbreaking and cathartic while others note a creepy, dark atmosphere.
