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

You code step by step through logic puzzles in a retro 2D world, with a darkly comic story unfolding around you.

What players say

Players compare it to TIS-100 and Human Resource Machine, calling it a simplified assembly programming puzzle. The difficulty spikes sharply in later chapters, and opinions split on whether the syntax is consistent or frustrating. Debugging tools are criticized as awkward, with no backward stepping and tiny data cells.
