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 witty, darkly comedic point-and-click adventure set in a quaint British town, blending dream exploration and reality with charmingly sardonic characters and retro pixel art.

What players say

Players praise the writing, puzzles, and dream-world mechanic that requires shifting between reality and nightmares. Many note strong influences from Monkey Island, with voice work by the original Guybrush actor. Some find the ending unsatisfying, and opinions split on the protagonist's voice acting and character design.
