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 slow, tactile puzzle game where you explore a handcrafted paper world, solving quiet mysteries at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players praise the handcrafted cardboard-and-paper art style, but many call it too short and overpriced, with some describing it as a paid demo. Reviews are split on whether the obtuse puzzle design is charming or frustrating.
