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, heartfelt coloring-book adventure where you freely paint the world to solve puzzles and help characters, with a surprisingly emotional story beneath its cheerful surface.

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt story about self-doubt, perfectionism, and creativity, with unique boss battles and a standout soundtrack by Lena Raine. However, some find the ending abrupt and the fast travel system poorly explained, while others note the puzzles can feel simple.
