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 word-guessing puzzle game that blends a melancholic sci-fi prison escape with a retro action-adventure feel.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, charming puzzle platformer that blends word guessing with jumping around. Controls feel tight and responsive, and the graphics and soundtrack get consistent praise. Some find a few of the hints and levels confusing, but the sweet story and unique concept keep them engaged.
