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 cinematic, episodic mystery adventure with a quirky, unsettling tone and quick-time events.

What players say

Players love the quirky SWERY charm and characters but are unanimous that the story ends on a painful cliffhanger because season 2 was canceled. The game is short, with experimental QTEs, and some note the Kinect-based controls feel awkward when translated to mouse and keyboard.
