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 playful adventure that shifts between 2D storybook pages and colorful 3D worlds, blending light puzzle-platforming with a cheerful sense of discovery.

What players say

Players praise the art style and creative interplay between 2D and 3D worlds, but many find the game too easy and linear, with frequent cutscenes that interrupt momentum. The experience is split between adults who find it understimulating and families who enjoy it as a relaxed children's game.
