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 clumsily flap giant tentacles through toy-like puzzles on a cheerful island, gently causing destruction and solving problems with a goofy grin.

What players say

Players love the charming story and the silly fun of wreaking havoc with giant tentacles, but they are split on the building missions: precision tasks require steady hands, and tentacles make it easy to accidentally wreck your own work, which some find tedious and others part of the charm.
