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, dreamlike exploration of a whimsical hand-drawn galaxy where you solve subtle perspective puzzles and simply soak in the serene beauty of the stars.

What players say

Players praise the art style and atmosphere but split on the telescope-controlled viewpoint, which some find frustrating or unintuitive. The game is very short, around 2 hours, with no autosave and puzzles that are more on the easy side.
