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 gentle, leisurely scavenger hunt through charming hand-drawn isometric scenes, with a calm pace and a satisfying hint system that lets you explore at your own speed.

What players say

Players find the cats easy to spot because only two or three cat poses repeat across the map. The game is very short, finished in under an hour. Complaints focus on wild mouse sensitivity, no settings for music or sound, and no save feature.
