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.

A cozy, casual hidden-object hunt through charmingly retro arcade scenes filled with cats.

What players say

Players call this a short, cute hidden-object game that tours video game history with retro references. The paid DLC almost doubles the length and some find the Blasphemeous nod emotional. A few note the flexible hint system helps with well-hidden cats.
