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 cozy, detective-themed solitaire game with a light magical twist and a noir atmosphere.

What players say

Players enjoy the solitaire twist: you remove special cards rather than clear the board, which makes it thinkier than standard Klondike. But many note the developer has reskinned and republished the same game dozens of times on Steam, and the detective theme is barely present, no story, no ending, and fuzzy low-resolution art.
