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, dialogue-driven mystery that feels like eavesdropping on a whimsical conspiracy from the confines of a single room.

What players say

Players praise the quirky animation and characters, calling it a short and charming point-and-click that feels like an adult take on Pajama Sam. They warn that puzzles suffer from moon logic and that the game has never gone on sale, with no updates since 2017.
