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 quirky and atmospheric dungeon escape with darkly humorous overtones and a medieval Renaissance aesthetic, requiring light puzzling as you navigate glitched, threatening environments while being taunted by strange observers.

What players say

Players praise the surreal art style inspired by Renaissance manuscripts and the absurd humor, but note the game can be buggy and has quality-of-life issues like no checkpoints and no skip for cutscenes.
