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 cheeky, lighthearted adventure where you roam as a lab-created dinosaur cop, pondering your role with a playful, low-stakes tone.

What players say

Players praise the humor and detective mechanics like the NPC schedule system and scent tracking, but are split on the ending: some find it oddly political and abrupt, others love the twist. The story starts lighthearted and becomes surprisingly serious, and the game is short with little replay value.
