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 deliberate puzzle-platformer where every move requires careful thought and precision.

What players say

Players describe this as a brutally difficult puzzle game that constantly surprises with how much it achieves with minimal mechanics. Each level teaches something new, and solutions feel obvious only in retrospect. Reviews compare it favorably to puzzle classics like Snakebird and Stephen's Sausage Roll.
