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 cheerful yet slightly eerie adventure across whimsical, ruined worlds, paced by collecting and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the lengthy collectathon filled with quirky dialogue and a strange, silly world. Many note rough production values and wonky controls, but find the exploration rewarding. Some compare it favorably to A Hat in Time, while others say the UI is ugly and impractical.
