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 lighthearted, linear pixel-art point-and-click adventure with gentle puzzles, whimsical humor, and a retro nostalgic feel.

What players say

Players praise the lovely pixel art, full voice acting, and heartwarming story. The game is short at about 4-5 hours with easy puzzles, though one puzzle near the end is a spike of moon logic and the final act feels rushed. Control on laptop is not intuitive.
