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 calm, contemplative escape-room game with a gentle mystery, where you wander colorful Japanese-style scenery and solve puzzles at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players are split on this puzzle game. Many love the variety and challenge, especially the unique origami puzzles, but others find them tedious. Complaints focus on the mobile-style controls, pixel hunting, and a lack of payoff if you don't find all collectibles. A generous hint system helps with the difficulty.
