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 nostalgic yet unsettling point-and-click adventure through a familiar building, where cozy memories twist into a dark mystery.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and nostalgic childhood atmosphere, but split on the story: many say the narrative starts strong then becomes fragmented, leaving major plot points unexplained. Puzzles are often described as poorly guided, and several note the lack of manual saves.
