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 methodical point-and-click adventure through a dystopian cell where every object is a clue in a shadowy puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and music but are split on the game itself. The game is very short, under two hours, and ends abruptly just as the story picks up, which some see as a demo rather than a full game. Reviews note nonsensical puzzles, pixel hunts, and attempts at humor that often fall flat.
