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 explore a locked Japanese-themed room, solving puzzles and riddles alone or with friends, in a short, tense, single-session escape room experience.

What players say

Players finish it in 30 to 60 minutes and note there is no save feature, forcing a single sitting. The puzzles are straightforward without moon logic, making it suitable for team events, but the game feels short and lacks replay value.
