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

You push blocks and solve gentle puzzles as a cute walking mushroom, in a calm, methodical adventure that feels like a low-stress brain teaser.

What players say

Players describe Mushroom Quest as a very short Sokoban-like puzzle game, clocking in around an hour for 30 levels. Most find it too easy, though a few later levels can be tricky, and reviewers note the lack of an undo button can force frustrating restarts. Comparisons are drawn to Chip's Challenge and PATHOS, and many say it is only worth picking up at a steep discount.
