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 gentle puzzle-platformer where you fluidly switch between water, mud, and ice abilities to solve environmental challenges at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle-focused gameplay and charming art style, comparing it to early 3D Zelda dungeons rather than Mario-style platforming. Some note bugs and camera issues, and opinions split on whether the minimal direction is relaxing or frustrating.
