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 deliberate, narrative-heavy point-and-click adventure where solving supernatural mysteries unfolds through branching dialogue and moral choices in a dark, pixelated New York.

What players say

Players praise the story, voice acting, and fair puzzles. The character switching mechanic stands out, and many note the plot has satisfying twists. Some wish for more content, and a Chinese reviewer criticizes female character writing and male characters' forced prominence.
