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 find the puzzles genuinely challenging and unique, but many rely heavily on hints, which can be frustrating. The game is short, roughly a couple of hours, and opinions on its $5 price split between worth it and overpriced. Some note bugs and unclear puzzle logic, while others praise the cute pandas and clever atmosphere that leans slightly spooky despite being cozy.
