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, thoughtful puzzle adventure through a vibrant fairy-tale world, guided by rhyming narrative and measured exploration.

What players say
Players describe it as a relaxing turn-based ball-rolling puzzle with no timing elements. The 96 levels are challenging but fair, with a hint system that only suggests the next move. Some players wish the rhyming story instructions were clearer, and a few report a persistent camera effect causing motion sickness.
