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 slow, thoughtful puzzle adventure set in a surreal fantasy world with retro pixel visuals and tactical grid-based movement.

What players say

Players compare it to the GO series (Hitman, Lara Croft) for its turn-based grid puzzles, praising the polished pixel art and fair difficulty curve. Many note the movement feels clunky due to animation delays, and the music gets repetitive. Several wish for key rebinding and controller support.
