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 gentle, story-driven fairytale where you solve colorful puzzles and explore a hand-drawn magical kingdom at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the charming, colorful art and the unique hidden-object design, but the experience is mixed. The puzzles swing between too easy and frustratingly hard, often with confusing instructions, though a skip button helps. The game is short, about 3 to 6 hours, and families with young children enjoy it together.
