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 methodical, dialogue-heavy sci-fi adventure that feels like piecing together a quiet, melancholic mystery aboard a drifting ship.

What players say

Players praise this short escape-room puzzle game for its unsettling liminal-space atmosphere and multiple ways to solve puzzles. The 3D exploration combined with 2D comic-style cutscenes is often highlighted, though a few note that the in-game computer's file organization could be clearer.
