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 point-and-click comic book adventure through a totalitarian sci-fi world, with laid-back puzzles, hand-drawn art, and a hint of dark humour.

What players say

Players praise the comic-book visuals and dark dystopian tone but are split on the clunky combat and pixel-hunting puzzles. The controls feel unresponsive, hitbox issues plague fights, and the English text has frequent grammar errors.
