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 cozy, nostalgic point-and-click adventure with playful puzzles and a gentle, retro atmosphere that evokes the charm of early pixel art games.

What players say

Players call it a short retro point-and-click adventure with an absurd sense of humor and rough English translation that adds charm. The pixel art and 8-bit music are praised, though some are frustrated by a brief story that ends abruptly, leaving a feeling the game is unfinished.
