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, quest-like puzzle adventure through a mysterious castle with a fairy guide, focusing on exploration and hidden-object discovery at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the game's beautiful painted art and soothing atmosphere, but note it is very short and aimed at beginners or children. The puzzles are repetitive and the hint button is unhelpful. Nostalgia from childhood play is a common thread.
