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 short, lighthearted puzzle adventure with voiced anime-style characters, set in a cyberspace world.

What players say

A short visual novel with maze-like puzzles tied to story progression. Players agree it is about an hour long with no branching choices and no manual save. The art is amateurish and the story predictable, but the voice acting and puzzle variety see praise. Some note a timing element to the navigation that split opinion.
