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, whimsical journey through a vibrant pixel world where you solve puzzles, collect treasures, and explore a mysterious island at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the open-ended exploration and clever item combinations, comparing it to Fez and early Zelda. But many warn the isometric platforming is punishingly precise, and the inventory limit forces constant backtracking. The game expects patience and offers cheat codes for those who want less frustration.
