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, storybook-like puzzle platformer where you explore a paper-folded world and listen to adapted ancient Hmong melodies.

What players say

Players praise the paper-cut art style and苗族 music but report frequent progress-blocking bugs. The game combines simple point-and-click puzzles with a six-key rhythm game, though several reviewers say the puzzle hints are unclear and the rhythm section lacks polish. Many note it feels like a student project with limited content.
