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, contemplative puzzle journey through an uncle's hidden rooms, where solving intricate brain-teasers and noticing quiet details feels like gently untangling a family secret.

What players say

Players appreciate the puzzles and atmosphere for the price, but the save system is a sore point: one reviewer calls it confusing and criticizes the lack of a clear last-save indicator, though the game still gets mostly positive reviews overall.
