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

You play as a cartoon skeleton sneaking through colorful, retro-styled environments, using hiding spots and light tactics to avoid humans and solve a playful mystery.

What players say

Players enjoy sneaking around as Boney the skeleton, snapping photos of humans with a retro stealth feel. Some find the bone throwing finicky and the score-based retry transitions slow, while others praise the hidden costumes and humor.
