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, whimsical physics puzzle game that feels like playing through a heartwarming picture book, with a groovy soundtrack and lighthearted exploration.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, cozy puzzle game with a surprisingly touching story about friendship. The indirect physics-based controls feel satisfying but can be finicky, and the music and art style are consistently praised. Opinions differ on the narrative, with a few finding it unengaging.
