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 laid-back puzzle game where you tinker with objects to match everyday phrases, rewarding patience and observation.

What players say

Players solve puzzles by acting out English idioms in short levels. The pixel art and hidden collectibles are a hit, but the hint system is useless and some solutions rely on trial and error, splitting opinion on whether the difficulty is satisfying or frustrating.
