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 misty Victorian island mystery with psychic combat and puzzle platforming in a top-down 3D world.

What players say

Players praise its creative puzzle design and unique oil painting visuals, but note the game feels unpolished and janky. Combat is more about using psychic powers strategically than raw action. Some find the limited skill slots and lack of controller customization frustrating.
