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, meditative spot-the-difference game where you help troubled animals by finding visual errors in dreamy illustrations, with a quietly mysterious story.

What players say

Players praise the challenging but fair spot-the-difference puzzles with a helpful hint system and timed pressure. The cute food illustrations and music are highlights, but the game hides a dark story with unsettling endings, and many warn it will make you hungry if played before dinner.
