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 darkly whimsical point-and-click adventure with meticulous hand-drawn animation, where exploring a once-familiar castle becomes a tense puzzle of escape and discovery.

What players say

Players praise the charming art and heart, but some warn of agonizingly slow character animations and broken achievements with no developer response. Opinions split on puzzle difficulty, and several note the game is short, around 3 to 6 hours.
