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 cozy dive into a retro computer's puzzle collection, where you tinker with automation and assemble models at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players call this a fitting last game from Zachtronics, a collection of small puzzle games tied to a fictional 1990s computer. Most praise the variety, with 20th Century Food Court and ChipWizard standing out, though difficulty is high throughout. Some spend dozens of hours on the included solitaire alone, while others note controller support is poor and mouse and keyboard is expected.
