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 classic point-and-click adventure where you cautiously explore a bizarre, monster-filled house, collecting items and solving puzzles at your own pace while avoiding sudden death.

What players say

Players praise the charming art style and humorous easter eggs, but warn that puzzles can be vague and the game is short. Some call it a fun co-op experience, while others find the difficulty frustrating.
