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 calm, contemplative puzzle experience where you freely build and explore a poetic LEGO world at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the touching wordless story and realistic Lego visuals, but split on the puzzles which some find opaque and tedious. Controls are widely criticized as finicky, especially with mouse and keyboard, and the game lasts only about 3 hours. Performance issues like crashes are reported by some, and many say the $20 price is too high for the content.
