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

You quietly manage a library of fictional books, choosing how to respond to visitors and uncovering gentle mysteries through browsing and cataloging.

What players say

Players describe a laid-back library clerk adventure that's over in about two hours. The main appeal is browsing hundreds of lovingly designed fake book covers and inferring customers' lives from what they borrow. Most agree the puzzle and story depth is shallow, and the search system is used sparingly. Some report performance problems with high memory usage.
