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 calm, atmospheric puzzle game that encourages methodical thinking and observation while solving logical challenges to relaxing music.

What players say

Players praise the large variety of relaxing puzzles and beautiful environments, but some find the execution overly fiddly and controller support janky. The game has no story, and the music divides opinion, with some calling it irritating.
