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 surreal, dreamlike point-and-click where choices feel consequential but ambiguous, steeped in a grim, quiet horror that unsettles more than it shocks.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and unsettling dreamlike art style. The choice system and multiple endings are highlights, but some find the puzzles frustratingly obtuse, requiring pixel hunting.
