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 slow, text-driven puzzle game where you piece together fragmented sentences in cramped, tense spaces to uncover a surreal, unsettling story through multiple choices and endings.

What players say

玩家普遍称赞其利用中文特性的解谜创意,比如拖拽文字、旋转形成谐音,但也集中抱怨解谜缺乏容错、主菜单缺少基本设置和退出按钮,以及引导不足导致需要反复试错。评价两极:有人觉得烧脑新奇,另一些人认为谜题生硬且故事故弄玄虚。
