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 lighthearted, low-stakes exploration through a vibrant and whimsical world, solving gentle puzzles and customizing your character.

What players say

Players praise the colorful levels and relaxing pace, but the fixed camera and lack of keyboard support frustrate some. Puzzles start simple and grow challenging, spanning multiple rooms by the end, though early repetition and cheap-looking cutscenes are common criticisms.
