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 point-and-click hide-and-seek where you calmly scan a hand-drawn Istanbul scene for cats, guided by a soothing soundtrack.

What players say

Players find it a relaxing hidden-object game with cute Istanbul-themed art, but many call it too short, finishing in 5 to 30 minutes, and note the lack of a hint system. Some criticize it as a repetitive formula from the same developer.
