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 slow-paced, thoughtful point-and-click puzzle adventure set in a beautifully bleak post-apocalyptic Finnish landscape, where you explore and investigate a gory, violent world with a grimly humorous tone.

What players say

Players praise the bleak post-apocalyptic atmosphere and art style, especially the Finnish setting and dialog. The story is dark with horrific endings, but some find puzzles unfairly hard or require pixel hunting. Opinions split on difficulty and length, with many noting it is a short game.
