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 cozy Christmas-themed hide-and-seek game where you poke around a festive diorama solving puzzles to catch mimics.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute Christmas hide-and-seek concept but almost all note it is extremely short, with only one level and no full version in sight despite being a year old. Some call controls wonky, and one reviewer says the game feels like an advertisement for a mobile app rather than a finished product.
