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 fast-paced, imaginative pulp adventure where you unravel conspiracies and fight fascists in a vivid retro-futuristic 1930s world, driven entirely by text and your own imagination.

What players say

Players love the dieselpunk globe-trotting story and making their character feel competent, but split on pacing, some say it drags mid-game and introduces too many characters too fast. The optional romance and the inclusion of fake 1930s-style ads are frequent points of praise.
