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, introspective point-and-click adventure exploring paranoia and loneliness through pixelated retro aesthetics and philosophical themes.

What players say

Players praise the surreal story and art, but note that puzzles often require real-world computer knowledge or outside research. The game is short, around three hours, and players are split on whether the cryptic puzzle design is charming or frustrating.
