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 dense, surreal puzzle box where every clue and contradiction slowly pulls you deeper into a disorienting mystery.

What players say

Players praise the coherent art and story but are split on the puzzle design. Some admire the clever code-breaking and note-taking, while others find too many puzzles are simple lock-and-key busywork. Late-game puzzles rely on a small set of names and dates, which frustrates some. The game is relatively short, around 15–20 hours.
