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, poetic point-and-click adventure with a cozy, nostalgic feel, told in rhyme with simple puzzles and a slow-paced rural atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise this short, two-hour point-and-click adventure for its beautiful pixel art and soundtrack. Its story is told entirely in rhyming dialogue, which some find charming and others tiresome. Puzzles are simple but satisfying, and the game's cozy, nostalgic tone wins over most players, though a few find it boring.
