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 gentle, accessible logic puzzle game where you guide a cute robot through handcrafted levels using visual commands.

What players say

The game teaches basic programming logic through cute, approachable puzzles, but multiple reviewers say it is very short at around 90 minutes to two hours. Players with coding experience find it too easy, while those with children praise it as an educational tool. Opinions split on the price relative to the amount of content.
