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 gentle, hand-drawn woodland adventure where you solve simple puzzles and collect rent from quirky neighbors, with a quiet, reflective pace and a personal, heartfelt tone.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short point-and-click puzzle game, around an hour long, with easy puzzles and a surprising plot twist. They praise the unique, macabre yet cozy art style, though some note bugs and that the puzzles are not challenging.
