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 play as a customs officer in a satirical dystopia, sorting parcels with quirky puzzles and a growing sense of tension from rebel activity.

What players say

Players compare it to Papers Please, and most recommend it if you want more of that genre. Many note the controls feel clunky, with double-click and input detection problems. There is a relaxed mode without a timer. The game has multiple endings and storylines that players enjoy, but others find the music grating and the game boring.
