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

Exploring a beautiful yet foreboding Victorian manor, solving logic puzzles and piecing together a dark story through non-linear exploration and recursive level design.

What players say

Players describe it as a short spooky mansion puzzle game with no monsters to hide from, finishing in about 4-5 hours. They find puzzles moderately challenging and the story predictable, and note it saves only on exit so you cannot reload to see the other ending without replaying.
