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 breezy, puzzle-filled office comedy with a touch of mystery as you collect items and explore pixel-art corporate spaces.

What players say

Players praise the writing and humor, calling the puzzles challenging but satisfying. There is a secret true ending to unlock and the game includes a post-game museum. One player notes the option to turn off timed sections, while another got stuck on puzzles they felt were unclear.
