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 charming and quirky puzzle game where you manipulate cute musical robots through a surreal world, balancing light storytelling with methodical block-sliding challenges.

What players say

Players praise the unique puzzle mechanics and musical theme, with a great soundtrack and cute dialogue. It is a short game, but some find the later levels more annoying than engaging. There are performance issues on certain Intel CPUs that have not been fixed since release, and players note the limited 4-angle camera rotation can be irritating.
