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.

What players say

Players praise the dark, cozy atmosphere and the quality of the art, especially the tarot cards. Many find it a solid short experience, but there is a split: while some enjoy the simple puzzles, others say solutions often come down to luck or brute force due to vague clues. A few also report performance bugs and freezing.
