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 bubbly, slapstick puzzle adventure where every animation and sound crackles with cheerful, absurd humor.

What players say

Players call it a short, funny adventure that feels more like an interactive cartoon than a puzzle game, with humor that some find delightful and others too childish. It is playable without knowing any language, and its art and animation are consistently praised, though many note the puzzles rely on trial and error rather than logic.
