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, methodical point-and-click adventure where puzzles are solved by carefully listening to audio cues and learning musical concepts.

What players say

Players compare it to the Rhem series, noting it is smaller and easier. The puzzles are music-focused, requiring stereo headphones, and opinions split on difficulty: musicians find them trivial, others struggle. The interface feels outdated and clunky. There is almost no story, and the ending is laughed off.
