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 relaxed, open-ended toy simulator where you freely build with infinite blocks, with no goals or pressure.

What players say

Players call it a pure, relaxing brick-building sandbox with no goals or resource management, like virtual Lego. Many note clunky controls and the lack of an undo button, while some want more block variety and a multiplayer mode.
