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-burning investigative mystery where you search for clues and solve puzzles in third-person perspective.

What players say

Players largely enjoy the detective story and Hungarian setting, but split on pacing. Most say the first half is talk-heavy with little to do, while all the tough puzzles are crammed into the second half. Several compare it to Yoomurjak's Ring, and a few report a game-breaking bug in the plasma puzzle that stops progress.
