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 nostalgic point-and-click adventure with a spiritual journey through a dystopian, icy world, driven by mystery and choices.

What players say

Players praise the puzzles, art, and length but are split on the heavy-handed Christian themes, with some finding them cringeworthy and others appreciating them. Voice acting quality divides opinion, and several report the game no longer works in 2024.
