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 methodical puzzle game where you swap equipment to solve each room, blending cute pixel art with challenging logic.

What players say

Players praise the clever four-tool system and how combining them reveals hidden mechanics, with the game offering multiple ways to solve each level by optimizing steps. However, some say the satisfying early-to-mid game gives way to a less engaging later half, and the lack of explicit explanations for tool interactions divides players.
