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 gentle, pressure-free digital toy where you tilt a marble through lush environments to calming music and ambient sounds, inviting relaxation and letting the mind wander.

What players say

Players praise the chill atmosphere and VR support, but note uneven difficulty spikes and short playtime around 3-17 hours. Some find physics glitchy and keyboard controls unusable, recommending a controller instead.
