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, hand-drawn puzzle adventure where you explore a colorful world full of charming animals and solve brainteasers at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and expressive characters, but warn that the puzzles can be very difficult and the story ends on a cliffhanger with no resolution. Many note the six-year gap between chapters and hope the next installment arrives sooner, though development uncertainty concerns some.
