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 tense, psychologically dark puzzle experience where every move feels weighted by uncertainty and the atmosphere of confinement.

What players say

Players call this a pure puzzle game, not a true RPG, despite the title. The puzzles are well-crafted and range from easy to extremely hard, with a skip system to keep the story moving when stuck. It offers 40+ hours of content, though some reviewers find the puzzles repetitive.
