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 are split on Doors: Paradox. Some find it a relaxing, cozy puzzle game with clever diorama-like levels, while others call it a simple click-fest that feels like a mobile game. Many agree the puzzles are easy and the story is pointless, and some report bugs with collectibles or puzzles breaking when interacted with too quickly.
