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, eerie exploration of a pixel-art art gallery that feels lonely and unnerving as you solve puzzles to escape.

What players say

Players praise the story, atmosphere, and puzzles while noting it is short and encourages multiple playthroughs for its endings. Some find the ending-lock frustrating if they don't keep multiple save files.
