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 gentle, soothing slide puzzle where you piece together hand-drawn cat-and-owner vignettes to a soft lo-fi soundtrack, unlocking one calm scene after another.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute hand-drawn art and relaxing music but note it only has six pictures across five difficulty levels, with no story to speak of. The puzzles range from 3x3 to 9x9, and while the optional numbered tiles help with similar-looking pieces, players split on whether being unable to move multiple tiles at once is a flaw or part of the challenge.
