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 slow, contemplative puzzle experience built around eerie audio and deep historical mysteries, demanding careful thought and research.

What players say

Players say the game is all about internet research, with puzzles that demand deep knowledge of British or American history. Many appreciate learning from it, but some find the clues too obscure, and several websites needed for puzzles are now dead, making full completion impossible without outside help.
