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 clean, methodical puzzle game where simple magnetic rules create non-trivial spatial challenges.

What players say

Players compare Magnet Block to Stephen's Sausage Roll for its relentlessly difficult yet elegant sokoban puzzles. The simple magnet mechanics hide deep, surprising solutions, though some find the later levels overly complex.
