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 moody, slow-paced point-and-click exploration game with retro pixel art and a focus on clue hunting and puzzle solving.

What players say

Players finish it in about an hour and call it a short RPG Maker mystery. Many are confused by what to do next and find too many items that serve only to mislead. A couple of reviewers also note pixel-hunting for keys and a missing quit-to-desktop button.
