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 spooky-cute haunted train ride with surreal puzzles and a shifting hand-drawn visual style, best played alone in the dark.

What players say

Players praise the striking art and atmosphere but are split on whether that alone carries the experience. Many say gameplay is minimal, just walking and trial-and-error puzzles, and the story is vague. A few love the experimental, dreamlike vibe.
