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, hand-drawn point-and-click adventure through surreal fish-worlds, where you solve puzzles with a mechanical friend at a calm, unhurried pace.

What players say

Players are split on TOHU. Many praise its cute, hand-drawn art and bizarre world, but a roughly equal number find the puzzles frustratingly opaque, requiring trial and error or a guide. Complaints also target the slow character movement and an overly childish tone that wears thin.
