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 surreal, hand-drawn point-and-click adventure that feels like a whimsical, morally guided puzzle journey with a quirky narrative.

What players say

Players praise the unique, psychedelic art style and compare it to Amanita Design games, but many say it feels like an unfinished chapter as the story cuts off mid-way and a promised sequel never arrived. Some find the puzzles too cryptic and note it is possible to get stuck with no way to finish.
