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 wander through surreal, artificial realms solving thoughtful puzzles while uncovering the meaning behind lost books and encountering abstract beings.

What players say

Players praise the originality of collecting books in surreal worlds, each with its own logic puzzle. The puzzles are abstract but not very hard, though the slow walking speed and frequent loading screens test patience. The start offers no tutorials, which some find confusing and others refreshing.
