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

You wander silent rooms with no events at first, then face low-stakes trials that keep you trapped in a gently mysterious space.

What players say

Players describe The Unplace as a short anomaly game built around looping through rooms with randomized puzzles. Its difficulty spikes can feel brutal when anomalies combine, and the lack of instructions forces you to figure things out alone. Players appreciate the multiple endings and the variety of rooms, though some find puzzles repeat near the end.
