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 lighthearted game of hide-and-seek where running and tracking footprints shapes the playful, low-stakes competition.

What players say

Players call it a charming hide-and-seek game with a unique footprint trail mechanic that turns chasing into detective work. The hand-crafted maps get consistent praise, and the developer couple is noted for streaming development and taking feedback. As an Early Access title it feels polished, though some mention server issues.
