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 praise the unique puzzle rules and addictive short-session gameplay, but many warn that the art is ugly and childish, colors look like a 256-color VGA palette, and graphics are blurry on modern screens. Some miss a no-time-pressure mode, and a few report the game refuses to start on older hardware.
