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.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging and disturbing deep-web exploration game with a dark atmosphere, and say the puzzles are engaging but require patience. They note the ending has an emotional impact, and the game offers good value for its price. Some mention the Linux version initially had issues, which were later fixed.
