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 calm, low-stakes time-management puzzle game where you fix a broken timeline with strategic resource shuffling and hand-drawn charm.

What players say

Players say the 12th entry returns to form after a couple of weaker installments, with a useful backpack that stops you having to return to base. Worlds 4 and 5 are notably harder, but the adjustable game speed and an improved guide help. A minority report crashes, and long-time fans note it sticks closely to the series' established formula.
