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 and whimsical point-and-click adventure through fantastical worlds, with simple puzzles and a playful fairy-tale tone.

What players say

Players praise the original puzzles and lighthearted humor but warn that several cutscenes do not play on modern systems, requiring YouTube to fill in the story. The game is under three hours with no bonus content or map, and the translation is rough on some item names.
