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

You and a partner navigate a cold, abandoned castle via walkie-talkie, solving puzzles under a quiet but urgent tension.

What players say

Players call it a short, free coop puzzle game where you and a partner solve escape-room-style challenges via walkie-talkie. It takes about one to two hours, and opinions split on the difficulty: some find it straightforward while others report a tough ending. The in-game voice chat is glitchy, so most recommend using Discord.
