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 breezy, lighthearted jaunt through a cartoon spooky forest with cheerful music and low-stakes puzzles.

What players say

Players are charmed by the Halloween theme and colorful world, but split on difficulty: some call it a cozy family game while others find it punishing, with a tough swamp platforming section. Complaints include repetitive music, bugs like getting stuck in caves, and no progress saving on exit.
