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 classic point-and-click adventure with a quirky 2000s era aesthetic, balancing light humor with a tense conspiracy plot as you solve puzzles and meet eccentric characters.

What players say

Players enjoy the early 2000s road trip story and logical puzzles, though some interactions are hidden and require specific order.
