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 slow, atmospheric point-and-click adventure through a late-90s tech office, blending nostalgia with a surreal, almost cinematic sense of place.

What players say

Players describe it as a janky but charming mix of Myst and The Stanley Parable set in a 90s tech office. Reviews consistently mention broken save functionality, meaning each playthrough must be finished in one sitting, and some find the lack of direction frustrating.
