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

Assembling hand-drawn jigsaw puzzles while listening to a narrated tale creates a calm, storybook-like experience.

What players say

Players enjoy the story-driven jigsaw format with eight puzzles and a short narrated werewolf tale. The piece-snapping outside the main board and zoom function are praised, though some dislike seeing the completed image as a puzzle background.
