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 explore a surreal inkblot village each day, piecing together a mystery through investigation and conversation while evading an assassin in a time loop.

What players say

Players describe a time-loop detective game with stylish scribble art, but split on its execution. Several report technical problems like misplaced interaction icons and sluggish text, while one reviewer highlights the developer revoking a review key after a negative critique. The story ties into a novel series available only in Polish, which limits lore access for some.
