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 tense, number-based puzzle game that demands quick reflexes and sharp focus, tied together by a dark, poetic narrative.

What players say

Players find the number-matching puzzle frustrating because of a terrible font, unresponsive clicks, and clashing colors. The game is described as a boring math exercise with a cheap horror soundtrack and poetry that feels tacked on. Some say it is only worth it for Steam cards.
