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 say this is a match-3 game with a crime story and hidden object stages, and the jazz soundtrack is a highlight. Difficulty is higher than typical match-3 games, requiring more planning. Some players report being stuck on level 5-3 with no way to finish. The second game reuses the music from the first.
