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

Solving jigsaw puzzles at adjustable difficulty while uncovering a story set in a post-apocalyptic castle world.

What players say

Players praise the sheer number of puzzles and difficulty levels, but the story only makes sense if you played A Foreign World. The interface is clunky, achievements are broken, and there are no animated scenes.
