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.

A retro-inspired puzzle adventure that feels like a playful, chaotic romp through whimsical castle levels full of silly characters and explosive surprises.

What players say

Players describe Mystery Castle as a charming puzzle game that blends Sokoban-style box pushing with Adventures of Lolo inspiration. It offers 180 levels across multiple stages, though the timed race segments draw criticism for requiring perfection. Players find the puzzles challenging but fair, with a cheerful presentation and relaxing music.
