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 tense, atmospheric pixel-art puzzle room experience where you investigate a Victorian mansion and uncover a tragic story through evolving object interactions.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design and Victorian atmosphere, but some report technical issues like freezes and crashes. A punishing end-game maze with god-mode enemies frustrates several reviewers. The story is incomplete at launch, with some endings not yet available.
