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 leisurely, narrative-driven point-and-click adventure set in a fantastical 1920s world, where you explore a richly detailed society and engage with diverse characters at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the 1920s fantasy world and the premise of a retired dwarf hero, but warn that bugs like disappearing keys and missing saves can block progress. Many say the game is charming yet feels unfinished, and some find the quests repetitive and the story dull.
