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 methodical, creative puzzle-box where you build contraptions and pilot them through a moody, otherworldly 3D space, balancing ingenuity with cautious tension.

What players say

Players enjoy building machines to solve puzzles, but many find the 30-level campaign too short. Some complain the physics are unreliable, parts scraping can send things flying, while others say physics work fine. There is no undo or quick rotate, which frustrates building.
