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

Solving puzzles and uncovering clues in a dark, story-driven world, with a constant sense of urgency and mystery.

What players say

Players praise the memorable, chatty villain and the dramatic story, but find the ending anticlimactic and note the collector's edition adds extra content. The game demands careful memory of item locations and has confusing navigation, though map hints help.
