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 methodical turn-based puzzle game where you outsmart predictable enemies by exploiting their rigid routines.

What players say

Players compare it to Paquerette Down the Bunburrows with a turn-based combat twist. Many highlight its surprising depth and tricky AI, but some find the later levels confusing due to non-adjacent rooms and unclear navigation.
