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 chaotic, satirical first-person adventure where you play as an incompetent scientist performing reckless experiments on reality with a mix of puzzles and exploration.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, silly puzzle adventure where you play a scientist who fixes everything with a sledgehammer, an absurd core mechanic that divides opinion between hilarious and boring. The atmosphere and soundtrack get praise, but some report bugs, bad translation, and repetitive point-and-click puzzles.
