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, self-paced puzzle adventure that lets you explore and solve obstacles in your own way.

What players say

Players describe this as a short puzzle exploration game held back by glitches and floaty controls that often send you into the water. Physics bugs can throw the player across rooms or fail to load exits, and the lack of level saves forces full restarts. The Linux build is broken, requiring Proton.
