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 light-hearted and cartoonish detective adventure with colorful hand-drawn scenes and puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful artwork and surreal puzzles but are split on value: many call the Early Access game a 10–15 minute demo with only two chapters, while some say it is fine for a small price. Longtime fans report the developer has released multiple Early Access games that never get finished.
