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 charming and relaxed puzzle-platforming adventure through a hand-painted fantasy world, guided by a playful cloud companion.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn visuals but are split on the gameplay. Many find the movement imprecise and the sentient cloud that zaps you more frustrating than fun. The game is short, around three to seven hours, with a plot twist at the end. A few note the lack of language options and achievements.
