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 charming but rough student-made point-and-click adventure where you explore a top-down world with a companion, despite bugs and limited polish.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and art style but note clunky combat and controls, along with minor bugs like wall clipping. It is a short, free student project with a surprising dark ending, though some find the difficulty uneven and the coins serve no apparent purpose.
