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 describe a short, relaxing hidden object game where you find sleeping cats and seashells across 18 small islands. Some note improved controls over earlier developer titles, but a few report camera problems and frustration with cats that are hard to spot.
