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 short, slow-burn point-and-click adventure that feels like an old B-rated horror movie but with a dry, darkly comedic edge and an experimental educational undercurrent.

What players say

Players are split on this experimental point-and-click. Some find it a practical tool for memory techniques, others call it a frustrating, clunky kitbash with slow cutscenes and poorly integrated memory games that interrupt the story.
