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 text-based puzzle adventure that feels like piecing together fragmented memories through thoughtful conversation and keyword selection, set in a quiet, slightly surreal near-future.

What players say

Players praise the detective-style keyword puzzles for their cleverness, but note that guessing the exact phrasing needed often forces them to check a guide. The game requires two playthroughs for the true ending, with the second locking the save slot and disabling hints. Many wish it were longer, and some warn it is not worth the full price.
