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.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, zero-dialogue puzzle game with a narrative left open to interpretation. Reviews are split on difficulty: some find mid-level challenges they solve without a walkthrough, while others call it too hard and rely on guides. A screen sizing bug cuts off important visuals on certain aspect ratios.
