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 clunky but lovingly crafted investigative adventure on an airship, where you freely explore and chat with passengers to unravel a conspiracy.

What players say

Players describe a short stealth detective game set on a steampunk airship, where you wake up with amnesia and investigate a sabotage. It offers several endings based on whom you accuse, with flexible approaches like smooth talking or sneaking, but reviewers warn the stealth sections get repetitive and achievements are broken. The game is often called an overlooked gem that sold poorly.
