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, hand-drawn puzzle game where you gently nudge trains along a cozy world tour with a pair of dogs, blending relaxed pacing with thoughtful challenge.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and steady introduction of mechanics, but many find the later puzzles descend into trial and error. The difficulty spikes hard around world 8, and some say the challenge stops feeling rewarding.
