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 playful yet sinister spy caper where bright cartoony visuals and darkly comic dialogue offset methodical point-and-click puzzle solving.

What players say

Players are split on this short point-and-click spy satire: some enjoy the art and humor, but many complain about a timed puzzle with no skip, no sound options in settings, bugs like music loops and chapters that fail to load, and puzzles that rely on trial and error.
