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-paced, nostalgic point-and-click mystery with a classic 90s adventure game feel, requiring careful exploration and thought.

What players say

Players consistently describe this as a very short point-and-click adventure, completable in 15 to 30 minutes, with polished pixel art and humorous voice acting. The story follows a janitor stopping a school cult, and some find it too brief or bare-bones for the price, while others appreciate it as a charming, low-cost introduction to the genre.
