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 explore a hand-drawn, comic-book-style abandoned psychiatric hospital, piecing together clues at a deliberate pace while a constant sense of anxiety and dread hangs over every scene.

What players say

Players describe a short point-and-click horror adventure with a twisted plot and a forgiving puzzle difficulty, though one cipher puzzle frustrates many. The soundtrack gets mixed reactions, and players are split on whether the story feels coherent.
