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 short, top-down exploration game with retro pixel graphics, atmospheric dark fantasy setting, and puzzle-solving using a starlight ring.

What players say

Players say this episode keeps the charm and retro Game Boy Color style of the first while introducing a new block-spawning mechanic that leads to deceptively deep puzzles. The difficulty is higher, the game does not hold your hand, and some rooms trap you until you solve them. A minority report a game-breaking glitch, and there are no achievements this time.
