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 describe it as a simple, relaxing hidden-object game where you find all 101 cats in a single illustrated scene. It's very short, taking between 5 and 30 minutes to complete, and some find the cats too small without the option to zoom. There's no hint system, which can frustrate during the final few searches, and players note it is cheap and quick but not much more.
