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 short, witty point-and-click adventure with a dry, bureaucratic absurdity and a distinctly northern English atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the absurd British humor and surreal bureaucracy satire, calling it more of a 'point and chat' game than a proper adventure. At roughly one hour, it has no real puzzles or inventory, just dialogue that makes people laugh. A few note the small text is hard to read from a couch.
