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.

About

This is a puzzle. You control the ball. You can roll it in 4 directions. The ball is uncontrollable until it stops. You are only able to make a direction change when you hit a surface - it is straight line movements all the way. Player might have to revisit locations or choose from multiple paths to finish the level. There can be a sequence of challenges that a player must solve to complete the level. Each level has a set of challenges to get around such as pits and other problems. Some passages are closed by a magical barrier. Use a magic stone to destroy the magic barrier. There are four types of barriers that differ in color. It is necessary to use a magic stone of the corresponding color. There is a universal magic stone - multi-colored.
