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 cynical and sarcastic point-and-click adventure with a noir aesthetic and darkly comedic tone.

What players say

Players highlight the humor and art style but are split on the puzzles. Some say they are clever, others find them non-intuitive and rely on combining every item. The voice acting receives mixed reactions, and the game gets called a short, classic-style adventure.
