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

You explore historical ciphers at a relaxed pace, solving puzzles as a new code breaker in a secret room.

What players say

Players praise the cryptography concept and story but the game is riddled with typos and errors that make later puzzles impossible to solve logically, turning them into guesswork.
