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, unsettling exploration through abstract, liminal spaces where you solve puzzles while feeling watched by an unseen presence.

What players say

Players praise the scrapbook-like art and effective soundtrack for creating a dreamlike, uneasy atmosphere. The puzzles are creative and satisfying, though the combat is clunky and some puzzles can be unclear. At about 4-8 hours, it feels like a steal for its low price.
