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 slow, unsettling point-and-click journey through a grim pixel-art world where every choice deepens the dread.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and surreal atmosphere, but find the story shallow and some puzzles confusing. The game is very short, around 30 minutes, and is often described as worth the low price.
