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 witty, hard-boiled text adventure where you solve puzzles by manipulating the main character's lavish metaphors and similes.

What players say
Players are split on the simile-based puzzles, which require creative thinking to use figurative language as literal items. Some find it clever and rewarding, others find it frustrating and obscure. The game is short, with a noir detective story that serves as a light framework for the wordplay.
