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, atmospheric exploration game where you navigate a lonely forest, collect treasures, and manage the tension of being hunted by mysterious masks.

What players say

Players praise the Ghibli-inspired visuals, calming music, and excellent narrator. The prologue is light on gameplay, described as a guided walking story experience taking about an hour, but players disagree on whether the linearity is a problem or fits the cozy tone.
