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 contemplative first-person journey merging hidden-object puzzles with a surreal, others-wordly exploration of paranormal mysteries.

What players say

Players praise the unique System of Thoughts mechanic and the dark, eerie atmosphere that creates a sense of unease. Many find the story intriguing, but opinions split on the clunky controls, confusing puzzles, and combat that can feel imprecise, with some saying the game could use more polish.
