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, atmospheric point-and-click horror experience driven by moody noir storytelling and pixel art.

What players say

Players call this a short, atmospheric horror point-and-click that ends on a cliffhanger. Many note the title is misleading since it is three short chapters, not three full games, and say the story feels unfinished with little hope of a sequel.
