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 solitary, mouse-driven puzzle game where you methodically click through procedurally generated rooms under a quiet, unspecified time pressure.

What players say

Players say the puzzles start clever but grow obscure, often requiring backtracking to previous rooms or a walkthrough. The developer responded to feedback, fixing a timed puzzle and colorblind problems, though some still find the logic arbitrary.
