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, atmospheric point-and-click puzzle journey through a surreal, dark escape room with a silent protagonist.

What players say

A short escape room that takes about an hour and mixes standard puzzles with meta ones that ask players to scan QR codes with a phone. Players are split on that requirement: some find it clever, others say it should come with a warning. The puzzles are logical and beginner friendly, and there is a secret ending.
