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

Navigating a hand-drawn sci-fi complex, solving increasingly tricky puzzles with a cute but tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the clean, wordless tutorial and satisfying "aha" moments, but many are frustrated by the lack of an undo button and unskippable animations, especially in chapter 5 where difficulty spikes sharply.
