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 gentle, puzzle-focused time-travel quest where you explore different eras and help a spirit catch up on homework.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle variety and the developer's growth since earlier games. The controls are clunky, one puzzle is timed and described as unfair, and some dialogues appear on a black screen.
