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 lighthearted and whimsical puzzle game where you gently connect blocks to help a kitten, with a soothing, self-aware narrative.

What players say

Players call this a short, affordable puzzle game with 50 levels and a gradual difficulty curve. The cat is mostly cosmetic, but the tile-connecting puzzles grow tricky enough to cause occasional frustration. A few mention the music gets repetitive, and one critic says it feels like a mobile port.
