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.

An atmospheric adventure game with an unclear feel due to limited information.

What players say

Players describe it as a short story-driven mystery with light puzzles and a slow start that picks up midway. The atmosphere and detailed mansion get consistent praise, though some criticize awkward character models and one nonsensical puzzle.
