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 point-and-click western adventure where you explore a colorful, retro-styled alternate history, solve puzzles, and uncover darkly humorous mysteries through choices that matter.

What players say

Players praise the story, characters, and voice acting but are split on pacing, with some finding it slow or sluggish. The puzzles are straightforward and choices affect the ending. It compares favorably to the developer's previous game, Lamplight City.
