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 solitary slow-burn point-and-click puzzle adventure with a contemplative, lonely sci-fi atmosphere driven by story and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the story and atmosphere, calling it a calming sci-fi adventure about exploring planets with an AI companion. The puzzles are the core, split between clever cyphers and frustrating minigames like wiring and blueprints, with some calling them obtuse or tedious.
