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 mysterious and unsettling adventure game with a focus on exploration and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players call it a love letter to 90s point-and-click adventures, especially Monkey Island and King's Quest 6. The puzzles are challenging but fair with no moon logic, and the story has a few twists. Some find the narrator grating and the opening cutscenes unskippable. Most finish in 10 to 15 hours.
