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 contemplative, retro-style point-and-click adventure with deliberate exploration and logic-based puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful pixel art and vibe but criticize the shallow story with an anticlimactic ending. The voice acting is widely mocked as sounding like Dora the Explorer, and puzzles are easy but sometimes rely on pixel hunting. There's noticeable backtracking in the later acts with unskippable animations.
