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 calm, focused logic puzzle where you work through increasingly tricky riddles in a dark, atmospheric room.

What players say
Players describe it as a short, relaxing puzzle book with no story or dialog. Most puzzles are easy, with a few that feel arbitrary or repetitive. It lacks the depth of similar titles and is not a challenge for experienced puzzlers.
