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 calm, gentle scavenger hunt where you search a big illustration for cats, slowly revealing color as you relax and explore.

What players say

Players say it offers a lot of content for the price, with a main puzzle, two difficulty modes, and unlockable hidden kitten maps. Some find the tiniest cats extremely hard to find. A reviewer notes it feels too short.
