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, eerie point-and-click puzzle experience set in a surreal hotel, where solving macabre rooms builds a dread-filled yet oddly playful atmosphere.

What players say

Players say it is a short point-and-click puzzle game with a macabre and surreal atmosphere, typically completed in two to four hours. The puzzles are mostly fair, though a few like the water jug puzzle and certain optional ingredient steps are frustrating enough to need a guide.
