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.

What players say

Players enjoy the comedic, lighthearted take on a Lovecraftian detective story, noting the protagonist's extreme bad luck. The game is short, about 6 chapters with no branching paths, and reviews consistently warn that a controller is strongly recommended while keyboard users must discover that backspace opens the menu.
