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.

A lighthearted cooperative puzzle-solving game where players work together to crack cryptic boxes with a cartoonish detective tone.

What players say

Players enjoy this co-op puzzle game for its clever but not overly difficult puzzles, though they note it is short, taking about 2–4 hours. Some find the ending abrupt and the final bomb puzzle frustrating. It is a lighthearted experience best shared with a partner.
