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 methodical puzzle game where each turn demands careful positioning to avoid being caught by lurking enemies while opening chests to progress.

What players say

Players say the puzzle sequel is short, around two hours, and introduces sliding maps alongside the original's turn-based chest-opening mechanic. Checkpoints ease retries, though later levels lean on trial and error.
