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.

What players say

Players are split on this puzzle game. Many say it is brutally difficult, harder than Getting Over It and Dark Souls, while others find it a simple sliding puzzle finished in half an hour. The pictures are low-quality landscapes that are hard to piece together, which some see as the main challenge. A few note it is fine for killing five minutes or as a distraction while watching videos.
