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 sit and explore a magical prison cell at your own pace, unraveling a voiced story through observation and simple interactions.

What players say

Players finish it in roughly 3 hours and call it a narrative escape room with puzzles that range from easy to challenging, though some find puzzles illogical and progress unsaved between sessions. A few report bugs like buttons not working and disappearing hands, and the ending is left open.
