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

You feel like a mischievous author arranging comic panels, experimenting with characters and seeing story beats unfold through trial and error.

What players say

Players praise the clever puzzle design and charming art, but nearly all agree the game is very short, often finished in 3-4 hours. Many recommend buying on sale, and some note that later puzzles rely on knowledge of specific literature.
