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 tense, repeatable detective puzzle where each rewind brings you closer to breaking the loop.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, scripted RPG Maker game about a Groundhog Day-style time loop where you explore a small town and solve puzzles. There is disagreement: some enjoy the story and chill pace, others call it overpriced and lacking gameplay depth.
