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 calm but brain-engaging treasure hunt for identical images, played at a comfortable pace with gentle difficulty ramps and helpful hints.

What players say

Players say the game has no tutorial, no help, and very few options. While it can be a decent time waster once figured out, the lack of instructions, swipe-only controls on PC, and broken DLC frustrate many. Progress is also gated by coins, which feels unfair since the game was paid for.
