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-burn pixel-art detective mystery where you piece together clues in a small, sinister town.

What players say

Players say the mystery keeps them hooked but the pacing drags, with lots of setup and little payoff by the end. The puzzles rely on obscure outside knowledge, especially military facts. The controls use arrow keys instead of WASD, and some areas are hard to navigate. Many find the price steep for a short game that is one of three separately sold chapters.
