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 lighthearted puzzle adventure where you outsmart security by commandeering gadgets as a plucky computer program.

What players say

Players enjoy the fresh concept of possessing electronics as an AI, but agree the game is very short (under an hour) and the difficulty spikes quickly. Some report crashes and wish for controller support.
