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

You explore a surreal, hand-painted world with eerie sounds and gentle puzzles at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and music, with many calling the puzzles challenging but fair. The game is short, around 5 to 8 hours, and some find the ending underwhelming. It is compared favorably to Machinarium and Botanicula.
