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 calm, methodical painting simulation that lets you recreate famous artworks while learning about art history.

What players say

Players praise the 200+ hours of pixel art content for free, but warn that coloring relies on clicking individual tiles rather than sweeping, and the game appears abandoned with no developer updates. Some find the repetition boring, and there is no background music.
