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 light, comedic puzzle adventure where you play with language in a whimsical and self-aware magic school setting.

What players say

Players enjoy the humor and are split on the word-puzzle mechanic: some find it charming, others wish it were deeper. Mini-games keep the pace fresh but early combat feels static. The game is short, with a true ending that rewards replaying the final section. Occasional visual bugs and unclear directions are noted.
