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

The game feels like a calm, heartwarming therapy session where you solve gentle jigsaw puzzles to help cute cartoon cats heal from trauma.

What players say

Players call it a short, relaxing puzzle game with nice visuals and a calm soundtrack. It takes 1-2 hours to solve tile puzzles for 12 patients, each with a brief story. Some note that hard mode becomes frustrating because certain pieces look identical, forcing guesswork.
