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-paced, melancholic puzzle-solving exploration through a hand-drawn, eerily empty town where the player investigates a strange amusement park.

What players say

Players praise the surreal atmosphere and art style, but consistently report that puzzles are too obscure, especially in the second playthrough, often requiring a guide. The game is short, with a second run that ramps up difficulty significantly.
