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 moody, slow-burn point-and-click investigation through a sinister Hollywood and haunted town, driven by unsettling atmosphere and a dark mystery.

What players say

Players praise the story and pixel art, calling it a love letter to horror. Puzzles are simple and forgiving, making it accessible for newcomers, though there is no voice acting and some report a game-breaking bug.
