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 gritty, top-down detective game that feels like a slow descent into a grim, hopeless world where tension and dread build with every clue.

What players say

Players praise the noir atmosphere and rain sound effects but find the episodes very short (under 30 minutes) and the puzzles too simple, often just clicking everything. The story is promising, yet the game is unfinished with only a prologue and episode one available. Some players report the developer being responsive to bugs.
