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.

What players say

Players split on whether this is a real puzzle game or an asset flip. Some call it a cash grab with a single looping song and no fullscreen mode, while others enjoy the challenging monotone anime portraits and lack of a reference image. The game has 30 levels.
