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 lonely, atmospheric puzzle crawl through a shifting complex where each room is a riddle and the world itself feels like a mystery to be unraveled.

What players say

Players say Conundrum starts as a short puzzle-platformer but opens up after the first ending, adding secrets and a glitch visor. Some are frustrated by a mid-game shift into stealth, others praise the layered mystery. The lack of saving is minor given the initial 45-minute run.
