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 gentle but tricky point-and-click journey through a hand-drawn world, where solving puzzles feels like drifting through a calm, mysterious daydream.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful Mæbius-like art and dreamy atmosphere, but opinion divides on the puzzles: some find them inventive and satisfying, while others call them arbitrary and frustrating, especially near the end. The game is larger than expected for a solo project, and a built-in hint system and walkthrough help with the tougher spots.
