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 relaxed collecting puzzle where you stroll through a desert place to pick up and place items onto their marked spots for points.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Some call it a calming puzzle about placing objects in a scene, but many more say it is an overpriced asset flip with broken controls, no guidance on how to play, and a map that is too large for the few interactions.
