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 noir pixel-art detective game with a funny, story-rich feel, blending point-and-click puzzles and mystery in a cat-filled retro world.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming point-and-click detective story with cat and dog humor. Reviews praise the fair puzzles and writing, though some find the cat/dog jokes overused and pixel hunting frustrating. The game runs about 5-6 hours, and a few note slow screen transitions between areas.
