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-paced, atmospheric puzzle game where you unravel a family mystery through hidden clues and locked-room enigmas.

What players say

Players say the puzzles are creative but often require outside knowledge, like playing Ode to Joy on a piano, and hints can be too obscure. The fan-shaped cursor is a unique touch, but its slow response frustrates some. The game's Chinese-only story and art style are praised, though the difficulty leads many to rely on guides.
