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, atmospheric point-and-click exploration through dark woods and old buildings, with a mounting sense of dread and mystery.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, voice acting, and lovecraftian story, but the game is very short, ends on a cliffhanger, and the sequel has not arrived. Some report bugs and crashes, and controls are strictly mouse-driven point and click.
