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 nostalgic text adventure that feels like exploring a cheesy B-movie through puzzle solving and point-and-click choices.

What players say

Players praise the writing, atmosphere and puzzles that mix text adventure with point-and-click exploration. The story sends you into six B-movies inside a haunted theater, but some find the puzzles tedious or the interface buggy. Fans note it is the third entry in a loosely connected supernatural series.
