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 love this as a chill, story-driven nonogram game with hundreds of puzzles and cute pixel art, often losing track of time. A few note the controls can be finicky on PC and that the game runs their system hotter than expected. One reviewer warns that the developer bans users from discussion hubs for asking about bugs.
