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 contemplative, museum-like stroll through somber exhibits where puzzle-solving unlocks morbid historical artifacts.

What players say

A short, easy puzzle game set in a virtual museum about death that players find educational and atmospheric. It draws comparisons to Shivers and Cypher but is much simpler, often finished in under an hour. Players praise the unique setting and learning opportunities, though some wish for more challenge or length.
