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 darkly cerebral escape room where you methodically click and explore a strange scientist's space, piecing together clues in a quiet, tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players finish both rooms in about an hour and call this a short, easy escape room. Puzzles are intuitive and rarely need the hint system, but many feel the price is too high for the length. An alternative mode reuses the same room with different puzzles, and some compare it to Rusty Lake.
