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

You click through a hand-drawn house noticing odd details, reporting them in a notebook, in a calm and atmospheric detective-like routine.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing anomaly game with no jumpscares, featuring a memory puzzle that can be adjusted via difficulty settings. The hand-drawn art and music are praised, though one review jokes it lacks a World of Goo reference.
