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 short, unsettling puzzle game that feels like crawling through a dusty, decaying operating system with a darkly whimsical and approachable mystery.

What players say

Players describe Crossroad OS as a short, charming sokoban-style puzzle game with a nostalgic, spooky vibe that fans of Inscryption will enjoy. They are split on bugs: some report audio issues on Linux and a progress-stopping glitch, while others find only minor, easily fixed problems.
