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 bright, fast-paced digging puzzle game with simple controls and cartoon charm.

What players say

Players love the core puzzle gameplay but are frustrated by technical issues and design choices. The PC port suffers from stuttering and input problems that require workarounds. Unskippable cutscenes block access to the game, and the menus are confusing. The game is very short for its full price, though fans say it is worth picking up on sale.
