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 cozy city-builder under friendly time pressure, where you quickly place and upgrade colorful buildings to keep a small town growing.

What players say

Players compare it to a 3D Tetris-city builder hybrid with multiple modes, but opinions split on difficulty. Many find the time limits too tight outside of Zen mode, making it frustrating rather than challenging. The camera and block rotation have minor bugs that add to the stress.
