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 methodical puzzle game where you push crates through ancient tombs with chalk-like graphics and a calm, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players describe this as a poorly executed Sokoban clone with low resolution, no music, no undo button, and no progress tracking. The graphics do not match the store page screenshots, and levels are all unlocked from the start. Some find the puzzle challenge entertaining despite the flaws, while most call it barely functional.
