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 slow-paced, investigative point-and-click adventure steeped in Lovecraftian dread, where you piece together a horrifying mystery across iconic locations.

What players say

Players are divided: some praise the atmosphere, art, and story, but many cannot play due to a black-screen bug that has persisted for years and is especially common on AMD graphics cards. Those who can play complain of info-dumping, weak voice acting, and pacing issues, while others enjoy the Lovecraftian atmosphere and puzzles.
