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 and mysterious interactive story where your choices shape a dark escape from a threatening dungeon.

What players say

Players praise the branching story and multiple endings, but find the puzzles too easy and the story a bit unfulfilling. The game takes about 4-5 hours to see most endings, and players say repeat playthroughs are needed to get the full picture.
