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 quiet, lonely trek through minimalist hallways, solving handcrafted puzzles by typing, with a lingering sense of mystery and isolation.

What players say

Players praise the original mechanic of typing object names to solve puzzles. Some find the physics imprecise and a few levels feel buggy. The game is short, free, and offers a relaxed atmosphere with a minimalist look.
