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 slow, tense block-pushing puzzle game with a grim cult theme and retro audiovisual style that rewards careful planning.

What players say

Players praise the Commodore 64-style visuals and the way each chapter introduces a new puzzle twist. There is disagreement on difficulty, with some calling it easy to stumble through and others finding it challenging. The game is short, around two hours, with an extra paid DLC campaign added in 2022.
