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 low-stress point-and-click hide-and-seek game where you calmly scan pixel-art maps to find hidden NPCs.

What players say

Players describe this as a digital Where's Waldo where you find hidden anime characters and items across maps. The game is very short, taking 15 to 40 minutes to finish, and while some enjoy the well-designed maps and art, others note frustrating hitboxes and wish for more content.
