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 cozy, whimsical puzzle adventure that feels like a charming but sometimes fiddly co-op problem-solving session with a friend.

What players say

Players love the charming, very British co-op but split on the controls, calling them intentionally frustrating rather than puzzling. The game is short, under two hours, with repetitive minigames, leading many to say it is not worth the full price.
