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 compact, handcrafted dark fantasy point-and-click adventure that feels like a nostalgic journey through a surreal, pixelated dream world with a strong narrative focus.

What players say

Players call it a short, atmospheric retro adventure with strong old-monitor aesthetics. The gameplay is very light and relies on trial-and-error clicking, which some find frustrating. Many hope the developer expands on its intriguing world.
