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 light and relaxed puzzling adventure where you explore the universe at your own pace alongside a grumpy protagonist.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art but are overwhelmingly frustrated by unresponsive controls and input lag. The game relies on players guessing key bindings with no tutorial, and combat aim is described as broken. Many found it boring after one to two hours.
