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 surreal, narrative-driven adventure where you psychoanalyse Freud's patients through point-and-click puzzles and dreamlike exploration, with a darkly whimsical tone and multiple endings shaped by your choices.

What players say

Players say this point-and-click adventure demands knowledge of psychoanalysis, with many feeling lost without a guide. The therapy mechanic receives praise for its originality, but the handwritten text and unclear instructions frustrate. Players split on whether the challenge is rewarding or just confusing, and most agree the game is short.
