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, whimsical adventure where you help a cute purple car reunite baby animals with their parents through playful, non-threatening puzzles.

What players say

Players call it a lovely short point-and-click adventure for young children, under an hour and with no save system, so it must be finished in one sitting. A few reviewers note the port runs well on Linux but lacks a tutorial, and some joke about its minimal hardware demands.
