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 straightforward, methodical tutorial that gently introduces programming concepts through text and logic exercises.

What players say

Players describe it as an interactive textbook rather than a game, with well-structured lessons but no gamification. The core complaint involves exercises that cannot be skipped and provide no hints or answers, which can block progress entirely. Some antivirus software flags the executable as a trojan. Players also note the developer released a separate new version instead of updating this one.
