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 explore a spaceship, solving logic puzzles and uncovering clues to piece together your lost memories.

What players say

Players describe a short adventure that takes 2 hours and say puzzle difficulty is uneven: some are trivial while a few are so obscure they send people to a walkthrough. Fans of the developer note it is not the studio's best work, but still a fine way to pass a couple of hours.
