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

You sort through a quiet study, sip a warm drink, and gaze through a telescope at gentle, luminous cosmic scenes.

What players say

Players call Astronook a relaxing puzzle game about drawing constellations and photographing space. The puzzles get harder over time, but a hint system prevents frustration. Many find it short, with some wishing for more content. The story about family memories resonates, though a few find the pacing slow and the constellation designs too busy.
