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

It feels like navigating a rain-soaked, small-town mystery at a deliberate, introspective pace, blending detective work with personal emotional turmoil.

What players say

Players describe a short point-and-click mystery with strong Twin Peaks influence and good voice acting. The puzzles are logical but the story can feel slow and the ending vague.
