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.

What players say

Players praise the inventive card-and-3D switching puzzles and stark black-and-white art, which creates a surreal atmosphere. The story is abstract and philosophical, with multiple endings to explore. However, some find the monochrome visuals make object-finding frustrating, and occasional bugs interrupt play.
