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

Exploring a beautifully illustrated storybook where you gently guide characters by altering their thoughts to solve puzzles and advance the narrative.

What players say

Players highlight the unique picture-only storytelling and say the puzzles are clever, but late chapters lean on timed sections and trial and error. The game is very short, around one hour, and one puzzle is unfair to colorblind players.
