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 fondly remember Auditorium as a relaxing music puzzle game from their childhood or early flash days. Many say it has not aged well, citing very low resolution and finicky controls that make the later puzzles frustrating, though others still enjoy its hypnotic combination of light and sound.
