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 slow-burn, text-heavy noir detective story with a deadpan darkly comedic tone, where you dig through conversations and clues at your own deliberate pace.

What players say

Players praise the detective mystery with meaningful choices and a steampunk world, but some find the dialogue too heavy and the narrative convoluted. Performance issues and low-resolution icons give a cheap impression, though the story's twists keep people exploring alternate routes.
