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

You play as a cartoon dog navigating quirky top-down puzzles across time periods, with light danger and helpful companions.

What players say

Players play as a dog sent back to 1984 who must collect items to solve puzzles and return home. The current early access build offers only one level, with no tutorial and a hunger meter to manage. Some find the object interaction finicky and the objectives unclear.
