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 calmly unsettling puzzle game where you match colorful caterpillars through a dreamlike, fungal world with a quiet sense of mystery.

What players say

Players praise its clever color-based puzzles and beautiful hand-drawn art, but warn the difficulty spikes fast and some find the story nonsensical. A few note that the lush visuals can sometimes obscure gameplay elements.
