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, surreal walk through a dreamlike 19th-century world, solving subtle puzzles while a quiet sense of mystery and unease lingers.

What players say

Players praise the surreal dimension-swapping concept and atmosphere, but nearly everyone complains about the lack of saving, clunky controls, confusing guidance, and no options menu. The ending is polarizing, and some find the puzzle logic frustrating enough to need a guide.
