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 slow, methodical puzzle game where you slide room tiles while standing on them to navigate a dark mansion, requiring careful planning and patience.

What players say

Players describe it as a sliding puzzle game where you move rooms to guide the protagonist, blending in some point-and-click adventure elements. Many find it fun but note the slow animations, repetitive music, and dated visuals, and recommend buying only on sale, while a few report crashes and missing auto-saves.
