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 laid-back, funny detective adventure with an absurd tone, low tension, and a self-aware narrator.

What players say

Players praise the sharp writing and noir detective story, calling it a short but engaging interactive fiction with clever puzzles and a helpful hint system. Some note the parser requires some patience.
