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 surreal point-and-click adventure where you navigate absurd logic puzzles through a hand-drawn, noir-infused world that feels both comedic and unsettling.

What players say
Players say the puzzles are clever but often rely on moon logic, making hints feel necessary. The game is very short and visually charming, but players split on whether it captures Kafka's essence. Long-time fans of Kafka are especially disappointed, while puzzle enthusiasts may enjoy the challenge.
