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, story-driven escape room experience with cinematic realism and a focus on logical puzzle-solving in a darkly atmospheric setting.

What players say

Players finish in about an hour, calling it short but solid. Some puzzles are clear and fun, others are too obscure or can be skipped by accident. There is no hint system, which frustrates those who get stuck. The game uses a Unity escape room toolkit, making it look similar to other games. A few players mention missing content like a bathroom room.
