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 short, atmospheric exploration game where you play as a trapped thief solving mysteries in a Lovecraftian castle.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere and hand-drawn art, but are split on the dice-driven mechanics: some call it an authentic tabletop feel, others find the randomness frustrating when you cannot see character stats or easily save-scum. The story is short, around half an hour, with multiple endings but no fast-forward to replay them.
