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, atmospheric point-and-click journey through a dark and disorienting psychiatric mystery where every clue feels heavy with unanswered questions.

What players say

Players call it a short indie adventure with a dramatic story and easy puzzles, praising its atmospheric soundtrack and Russian setting. The graphics and voice acting are low-budget but seen as charming by some, while others find the plot predictable and the game too brief.
