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 quiet, atmospheric walk through an abandoned, massive indoor city where you piece together the mystery of its silent emptiness.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and note-driven puzzle design, but warn of janky mechanics like missing door animations and sudden camera snaps. Difficulty splits opinion: some find puzzles too easy, others hit roadblocks that force a walkthrough.
