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, narrative-driven comic book adventure with a ghostly companion, blending historical mystery and supernatural sleuthing in 1920s Paris.

What players say

Players praise the black-and-white comic art and Oscar Wilde's ghost, but many say the three-hour runtime leaves interactions underdeveloped. Some find the gameplay too linear and click-through, with little puzzle depth. Reviews note the lack of voice acting and almost no background music as weaknesses, and a few report crashing bugs.
