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 deliberate, story-driven adventure through a gothic and occult-themed world with a mysterious atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and detective duo but are split on difficulty, with some finding the puzzles too easy. Most agree the Lovecraftian story is well-written and the game captures the pulp feel of the original works.
