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 calming, storybook-like point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn art and gentle puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the stained-glass art style and charming retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but are split on the gameplay: some find the puzzles simple and relaxing while others complain about unclear objectives and a frustratingly tedious fishing minigame that blocks progress.
