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

Navigating a dimly lit, suddenly hostile hospital as a reluctant janitor, the game feels like a tense, story-focused RPG with light puzzles and battles.

What players say

Players praise the art and story, but are split on the combat: some find it fun and simple, while others call it boring and shallow. The puzzles are often described as too cryptic, and the game requires some grinding for experience before a boss.
