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.

A calm, educational experience where you learn constellations by connecting stars at your own pace with gentle repetition.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple constellation-clicking game that can be completed in under an hour. It has a calm, educational tone but offers little challenge: the game highlights which star to click next. Multiple reviewers note it is limited to northern hemisphere constellations and has not been updated since 2016.
