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

You control a rhino cub on a pixel-art island, solving block puzzles at a gentle pace with modest action, in varied weather that adds a quiet, atmospheric feel.

What players say

Players praise the charming contrast between the cute rhino protagonist and the surprisingly realistic animal faces. The puzzle action is gentle, with a match-3 block system woven into platforming, most finish in 5 to 6 hours. Some note the full price feels steep, but say it is worth on sale. A few report audio cutouts and Steam Deck launch crashes.
