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 journey through a pixelated world with light puzzling and conversational exploration.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and worldbuilding but warn the second half gets confusing, the ending feels abrupt, and navigation is easy to get lost in.
