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, rain-soaked point-and-click mystery set in a crumbling cyberpunk world, where you piece together a fractured reality through exploration and dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and cyberpunk atmosphere, but opinions split on puzzle design, some find them logical, others point out pixel hunting and occasional moon logic. The story hooks early but the ending feels rushed, leaving questions unanswered, and the game is short at just a few hours.
