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 playful co-op puzzle adventure that feels like solving mysteries in a colorful storybook world.

What players say

Players say it is a cozy detective game best suited for children ages 7 to 10 or for parents playing with their kids, with simple puzzles and platforming that adults may find too easy and repetitive. The co-op works well, though some mention that the gameplay loop can feel repetitive and that Steam link had issues.
