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 classic point-and-click adventure that feels like a slow, atmospheric exploration of a pixelated retro-future city, driven by puzzle-solving and conversations.

What players say

Players praise the game's retro aesthetic and pixel art, with many citing clear homages to classics like Another World, Flashback, or LucasArts adventures. The story and atmosphere are engaging, though some find the script in need of proofreading and the puzzles too easy or overly guided.
