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 small, lovingly crafted 3D adventure that feels like a gentle, open-ended exploration of a fantasy world inspired by childhood memories.

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt tribute and visual design, but say development stalled after 2018 with only two of ten star puzzles available, a tiny world, no map, and odd controls that make movement frustrating.
