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 lighthearted and whimsical physics puzzler where you leisurely guide a growing hole, collecting cute trash and characters in a funny, story-driven adventure.

What players say

Players call it a cozy, short experience with simple puzzles and funny writing, easily finished in under three hours. The gameplay is not challenging, but the quirky story and soundtrack are highlights. Many recommend buying it on sale due to the length.
