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 thoughtful, hand-painted point-and-click adventure with a darkly comedic tone, where you unravel a conspiracy at a relaxed, story-driven pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and witty writing, calling it a solid point-and-click adventure. The game is on the shorter side (around 15 hours) and the puzzles are reasonable but can be tough, especially without a panic button or English fluency. The ending feels abrupt to some.
