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 piece together clues and bond with a roommate through notes, navigating a moody, isolated mystery in a hand-drawn city.

What players say

Players praise the unique rotoscoped animation and dreamlike atmosphere, but many find the puzzles tedious and the story unengaging. A divisive time-critical minigame and inability to skip replay content frustrate those aiming for multiple endings. Controls require both mouse and keyboard.
