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 cheeky, self-aware point-and-click that leans into humor and irony rather than true horror, guided by a narrator who constantly breaks the fourth wall.

What players say

A comedy point-and-click adventure from solo developer Sui, full of fourth-wall breaks and a self-aware narrator. Players who enjoy the offbeat humor love the personality, while those who do not may bounce off entirely. The puzzles are often obtuse, relying on trial and error and the game involves a fair amount of backtracking.
