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 contemplative, detective-like experience where you quietly explore and solve puzzles as a cat, piecing together clues in a low-stakes, narrative-driven mystery.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and comic-style cutscenes, but frustration is overwhelming. The camera causes motion sickness and clips through everything, controls feel unplayable, and progression offers no direction, leaving people wandering or stuck.
