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 calm, exploratory puzzle where you gently guide light through elaborate contraptions, feeling like a curious inventor tinkering with physics.

What players say

Players say the puzzle design leans easy and the 31 levels are over quickly. The controls can be fiddly, and some dislike repeating levels for alternate solutions. A few hope for deeper optical mechanics.
