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 thoughtful puzzle adventure through a richly detailed Renaissance world, blending invention and mystery with a steady, deliberate pace.

What players say

Players say it is a decent but unremarkable point-and-click adventure, with beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds but dated character animations. The puzzles are logical and rarely require a guide, though the story and characters fail to leave a lasting impression and can feel dull early on. A few report crashes when alt-tabbing.
