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.

What players say

Players are split on The House of Toys. Many enjoy the puzzle-anomaly gameplay and find it replayable, but the tight 6-minute timer and dense tutorial make the start frustrating for newcomers. Some report bugs like stuck puzzle interactions and banana-peel glitches, along with performance issues at low FPS.
