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 cheerful, cartoony puzzle-platformer where you swap between quirky friends to solve lighthearted monster mysteries in a sleepy town.

What players say

A short puzzle-platformer about a team of four kids solving mysteries, swapping abilities like turning into a ghost or a fish. Players compare it to Night in the Woods and Scooby-Doo, praise the writing and art, but note bugs, typos, and a story that ends with unresolved threads.
