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, storybook-like journey through beautifully illustrated scenes, where players leisurely search for hidden items and solve puzzles at their own pace.

What players say

Players say the game is beautiful but ruined by obvious AI-generated art and cutscenes. It is very short, around an hour and a half, and the base game only includes the bonus chapter, not the full three chapters. Crashes and translation bugs also frustrate, though some still enjoy the cozy holiday music.
