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

An artistic, surreal puzzle-adventure where you explore a dreamlike world to solve challenging puzzles and help whimsical creatures.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful, surreal atmosphere and say the puzzles are creative and rewarding, but many also find them unguessably obscure, often needing a walkthrough. The game is short, roughly 2 to 8 hours, and has no hints, which splits opinions. Some report bugs early on and note it lacks vsync, recommending to limit FPS manually.
