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 gentle, story-driven stroll through a whimsical steampunk airship, where solving simple item-based puzzles unlocks new rooms to explore.

What players say

Players consistently call this a very short first-person puzzle adventure with a strong steampunk atmosphere and a narrator they like. But the game ends abruptly on a cliffhanger, and many are frustrated by the lack of direction and many non-interactive objects. Players are split on whether the puzzles are clever or underwhelming.
