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 and darkly funny point-and-click adventure where teenagers uncover a town's hidden secret during a solar eclipse, blending exploration and puzzles with a psychological horror feel.

What players say

Players praise the story, pixel art, and creepy atmosphere but are frustrated by unclear puzzles, one-hit deaths, and janky controls. Opinions split on whether the trial-and-error gameplay is worth the experience.
