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

Bouncing through vibrant diorama landscapes with goofy combat and puzzles feels like a cheerful toybox adventure.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, cute action-adventure that can be finished in two to six hours. Combat is simple and not very challenging, and resource collection lets players grind levels if they want. Multiple reviewers note the game is appropriate for younger players and lacks polish in dialogue and variety.
