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 breezy, oddball split-screen adventure with a playful 80s comic-tone and a good-natured environmental satire.

What players say

A short, free point-and-click adventure that serves as a loving parody of Day of the Tentacle, players say. It lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, has voice acting and pixel art, and is often considered a demo for the developer's upcoming full game. A few note a quirk where some object interactions only appear after you look at them first.
