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 puzzle-driven escape room adventure where you methodically explore a hand-drawn castle and unravel a Lovecraftian mystery through logic and investigation.

What players say

Players praise the outside-the-box puzzles and helpful hint system, but warn the game is short and its logic can feel nonsensical or too meta, like using menu buttons to solve puzzles. Fans of the physical Exit games will feel at home, though some say the puzzles are less logical than the board game series.
