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 describe a simple but gradually challenging puzzle game that uses chess knights' L-shaped movement across 100 levels. It introduces new mechanics as it goes, though some find it tedious or boring. Several note it runs hot and lacks cloud saves on Steam.
