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 surreal, cinematic journey where you outsmart threats with wit, each scene shifting mood through minimalist art and thought-provoking puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the elegant minimal art and music but clash over the gameplay: some enjoy the stealth puzzles and two playthroughs, while others call it boring or poorly balanced with a sharp difficulty spike in level 4-6. A few report progress bugs that require restarting a stage.
