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 slow, methodical puzzle game where you pick up scattered items and place them precisely to assemble a peaceful winter scene.

What players say

Players describe it as a quick item-delivery task, not a puzzle: you pick up objects and a beam shows exactly where to place them. The level is tiny and takes a couple of minutes to finish. The game is seen as another cheap asset-flip entry in a large series of similar games, priced absurdly high and only bought in deep-discount bundles for achievement hunting.
