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 lighthearted, comedic puzzle game where you sort messy inventories while listening to players' exaggerated RPG woes.

What players say

Players love the inventory sorting concept but are frustrated by poor controls: items frequently snap to the wrong tile, making placement a struggle. Most agree it is short, and some enjoy the story about an MMO's death. Many compare it unfavorably to the developer's earlier Save Room games, which felt more responsive.
