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 playful and humorous text-based puzzle adventure with adorable characters and a light, mischievous tone.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a short, family-friendly interactive fiction with clever puzzles and a light tone, comparing it to the developer's previous game Unmemory. However, many warn about accessibility problems: no subtitles for audio cues, no manual saving, and a final chapter with unskippable timed reflex events that force a chapter restart on failure.
