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.

What players say

Players praise the charming art and relaxing loop but find the game noticeably easier and shorter than earlier entries, clocking in around 90 minutes. The new progressive coloring mode divides opinion: some appreciate it while others miss older hints like cat meows. A vocal group criticizes the developer for patenting the phrase "Hidden Cats," calling it anticompetitive.
