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.

You gently piece together charming, softly illustrated scenes of a friendly cat's Halloween adventure, feeling cozy and relaxed rather than scared.

What players say

Players praise the cute cat-themed artwork and relaxing puzzles, noting the game can be played in short bursts or long sessions. A standout feature is the quadrant system that lets players tackle puzzles in sections, a change the developer added after community feedback. The six illustrations come in five difficulty sizes, from 60 to 540 pieces.
