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, deliberate puzzle game where every word and visual cue feels like a cryptic clue in a dark, neon-lit mystery.

What players say

Players praise its challenging puzzles that require careful attention to patterns and spelling, with a dark pixel-art atmosphere and a rewarding sense of satisfaction upon solving each riddle. The game is short and weird, but players find it memorable and addictive, though some note the lack of Chinese language support.
