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, conversation-driven mystery where you explore a confined space, interrogate suspicious classmates, and piece together clues under a tight time limit.

What players say

Players praise the character writing and meta-elements, with many noting the game is packed with game jokes and references. The puzzle difficulty is low, though the block-pushing sections frustrate some. The roughly 10-hour campaign is considered generous for the price. A few reviewers find the multi-loop clue-hunting tedious, and some wish the fast-forward system were smarter.
