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 tense, minimalist cooperative puzzle experience where you and a partner must escape under time pressure in a dark, mysterious setting.

What players say

Players enjoy the asymmetric co-op puzzle design and the communication it demands, but they consistently find the UI confusing and the execution janky for a game that came out in 2025. The manual-driven gameplay reminds many of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, though levels are fixed rather than procedural, which reduces tension after a few tries.
