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.

You carefully deduce clues and navigate turn-based puzzles in a dark, atmospheric world.

What players say

Players describe it as fantasy minesweeper where success often boils down to random guessing. They criticize the punishing food system, poor tutorial, and lack of story. Some enjoy the puzzle elements, but many find it frustrating and repetitive.
