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 slow, methodical investigation through a chilly 1935 London, piecing together clues in a quiet, atmospheric mystery.

What players say

Players consistently say the game is broken: it often fails to load past a white screen, has no instructions or pause menu, and audio overlaps when you interact too quickly. Most agree it feels like an abandoned early access asset flip with very little content, though a few reviewers appreciate the premise and atmosphere.
