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, methodical puzzle platformer where you carefully explore scenes, use collected tools to overcome barriers, and unlock treasure chests through logic and memory.

What players say

Players call it a nostalgic throwback to 90s classics like Boulder Dash. The hook is using nine different tools to break matching blocks and collect treasure chests, but a single misplaced dig can force a restart and the larger levels demand heavy backtracking. Reviews split: some enjoy the brain-teasing challenge, others find the pace too slow and repetitive.
