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 challenging, disorienting puzzle game where you navigate tricky spatial puzzles as a brain in a jar with an AI companion, blending unsettling horror with dark humor.

What players say

Players are split on this puzzle adventure. Many call it a messed up Portal with mirror puzzles and a creepy story told through logs in about 5-6 hours, but janky physics and a lack of directions frustrate others, leading to softlocks and trial-and-error gameplay.
