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, soothing puzzle experience where you piece together charming hand-drawn scenes of medieval kittens.

What players say

A minimalist rotating-piece puzzle where each tile is already in the right spot, just facing the wrong way, with a cute cat picture as the payoff. Players split between calling it a relaxing wind-down and a repetitive bore, and some report the tile turning feels too slow.
