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 thoughtful platformer where you strategically place magical blocks to solve environmental puzzles and guide a small robot through a hostile alien world.

What players say

Players describe Magibot as a puzzle-platformer where you place abilities on a level first then execute the plan, which some compare to simple programming. Many praise the concept but note half the Steam achievements are broken, the game is short at around 7 hours, and players split on whether it is too easy or has a repetitive structure.
