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 gentle, story-driven point-and-click adventure set in a tiny magical forest kingdom, blending cozy exploration with a light mystery.

What players say

Players find this hidden-object game short, charming, and easy, but split on its puzzles: the potion system is criticized for not letting players figure out rune combinations, and some scenes require illogical item usage. A mouse-kingdom story with rats as villains and one collectible per screen.
