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 calm yet mentally engaging puzzle game that feels like a peaceful woodland retreat with satisfying moments of problem-solving.

What players say

Players compare it to Stephen's Sausage Roll but say it is much easier and more relaxed, with a gentle difficulty curve that only spikes for the final puzzles. While some find it too easy, most appreciate the unique mechanics and crisp presentation.
