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.

What players say

Players describe a very short point-and-click adventure with a cozy winter setting and Swedish folklore themes. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour, has three endings, easy puzzles, and is popular for achievement hunting. Opinion is split on the art and voice acting, with some finding the tone less cozy than expected.
