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 praise the creative puzzles and unique setting, but many warn that solving them requires taking and referencing screenshots because the game lacks in-game tools or borderless windowed mode, making two monitors nearly essential. Some also report a game-breaking softlock in the final section.
