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

Deciphering ancient languages and exploring a beautiful, mysterious tower feels like a calm, thoughtful journey of discovery.

What players say

Players praise the novel language-decoding puzzles and gorgeous art, but many find the stealth sections annoying and the heavy walking between areas tedious without a map. The third language is a notorious difficulty spike, and some note that the story is simple until the ending.
