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 nostalgic point-and-click adventure with a surreal mystery set in a quiet 80s town, where you explore and solve puzzles with friends.

What players say

Players appreciate the tough puzzles and old-school Lucasarts atmosphere, though many criticize the clunky interface, poor translation, and a boring maze section. Praise is common for being a one-person project, but the lack of voice acting and persistent UI issues frustrate some.
