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 hushed, single-room puzzle adventure where you silently examine an apartment to unravel a mystery.

What players say

Players recommend it for its tense atmosphere and unusual puzzles, especially a board mechanic where you piece together the story. They compare it favorably to Fears to Fathom, but note bugs with lighting, a confusing ending that leaves too much unexplained, and the lack of Chinese language support.
