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 slow, story-driven point-and-click where you explore a cold, mysterious town and piece together a family's tragedy through dreamlike visions and conversation.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian story and atmosphere, but consistently warn about clunky controls, awkward camera angles, and broken menus that can require force-closing the game. Several note it is worth playing for free but would not pay for it.
