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 tense and atmospheric puzzle escape game that feels like a surreal, mind-bending detective mystery.

What players say

Players praise the creative puzzles and unique short film integration. Some find the logic inconsistent, with a few puzzles feeling like trial-and-error. The game is short and free for chapter one, but chapter two is paid.
