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 playful and imaginative romp through a hand-drawn cardboard world, with light puzzle-solving and bouncy action.

What players say

A very short (15–30 minute) free adventure with a charming cardboard art style and simple gameplay. Players enjoy petting dogs, but note some rough spots like softlocks and achievement bugs. Combat is okay but unremarkable, and the game feels like a student project with potential.
