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 detective puzzle set in a dark manor where you investigate crime scenes using clues and items to uncover hidden truths.

What players say

Players heavily criticize the puzzles as illogical and the walking speed as painfully slow, but some enjoy the layered story that rewards multiple playthroughs. The game is short, roughly 30 minutes per chapter, and split on whether the narrative makes up for the obtuse mechanics.
