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.

What players say

Players are split on Cats Spotter. The watercolor art and relaxing music win praise, but many criticize the zoom that jumps back to center, unclickable cats, and audio hints that are unhelpful on disjointed maps. The game is short, around 90 minutes, and frequently called overpriced even on sale. Some reviewers suspect AI-generated art with perspective errors.
