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 world where you solve logic puzzles at your own pace, accompanied by a story that feels like watching an animated film.

What players say

Players praise its hand-drawn art and wordless storytelling, calling it a short and cozy puzzle adventure similar to Machinarium but brighter. A few complain the save menu is confusing, with a star icon that restarts the game.
