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 mischievous puzzle game that delights in breaking conventions and annoying its narrator.

What players say

Players enjoy the meta humor and fourth-wall breaks, but they are split on the narrator: some find him hilarious, others grating and repetitive. The game is short, with many recommending it only on sale, and one achievement that requires cheating frustrates completionists.
