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 slow, methodical point-and-click investigation where you piece together a town's hidden mystery through exploration and dialogue, with a constant undercurrent of unease.

What players say

Players report it is a short hidden object adventure with good artwork and a hint system, but many mention bugs: crashes, broken object finding, unused items, and an abrupt ending. The puzzles are challenging but sometimes illogical.
