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

Exploring hand-drawn paintings in a slow, surreal puzzle platformer that feels gentle and artful.

What players say

Players call it a very short puzzle-platformer with simple puzzles and nice visuals, but split on whether the charm justifies the high price and lack of polish. Many note it was developed by student interns at a museum, yet find no educational value. Some report glitches and a missing save system that forces restarts.
